Now, I've seen a couple threads on why people chose their avatars and that's just fine and dandy. But I'm really curious as to why people chose the names/ID things they did. I'll start. My last name is Freund - thus the "Freundly" part and the giant part comes from the fact that I'm 16 and 6'2". Together, I thought they were pretty witty. So, why'd you choose your name?

"Self-importance is our greatest enemy. Think about it - what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellowmen. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone." quote from the arch-engimatic Carlos Castaneda
I've seen an article or two about how the new identification rules for voting affected rural Canadians and students. Two thirds of the Dalhousie student population that came out to vote were turned away from the polls because they didn't have the proper proof of residence.
Did any of you have problems voting? Was everyone aware of what they needed to have with them, or do you think Elections Canada could have used their $9 million+ better?
