Appearantly someone (probably a fan) named his cat after me. Don't think the name Baxter is used at any other place on the internet though.
To clear some things up (maybe also for people on irc, saying that the owner of the cat is probably a fan of mine was a joke, so I thought people would understand that I wasn't serious either when I mentioned Baxter was probably never used. I mainly said it since Baxter gets a very large number of hits when googling for it.

what about baxter stockman (tmnt)?
That's actually the Baxter I got this nickname from. I just finished my first TAS (tmnt2) and needed a nickname fast so I could submit. Didn't realize I'd be using that nickname for a long time :P

I've seen my name on a number of different message boards--however, "Viewer" is a common word...

A long, long time ago, I was the only CtrlAltDestroy. But, for some reason, my name has become very popular. I'm thinking about changing my main name.

Since Mukki brought up products I thought I'd mention there's also a diet drink released by Coke in Japan named after me, but it's no longer in production as far as I know.

My name only turned up 3,800 times.. The most common place where it turned up was on various English, German and French emulation sites...(which is expected, due to my work....) Other spots were a college website, and other peoples forum profiles...

A google search for "Deep Loner" turned up 32 results. All of the forum hits (Emulator Cheats, Counter-Strike.net, TASVideos) belong to me. Besides this, "deep loner" is a rather infrequently used colloquialism, referring to an especially taciturn, socially aloof individual with the particular tendency towards self-absorbtion in his or her own thoughts. The "deep loner image" may additionally convey an aura of mystery and is frequently exploted as a façade. A "deep loner" may or may not exhibit anti-social tendencies and/or emotional instability. "Deep Loner" is also the name of a music track created by independant British song artist Antony Barnes, known as amb26. Whether this is the same "DEEP LONER" referred to in three defunct eBay music listings (2 on the British site, 1 on the German) cannot be definitely ascertained.

Some has virtualalex as his name on some Sims2 forum. I am pretty pissed about it actually. No one ever had, or understood what TwelveMotion was. That was a unique throwback to an obscure character in an obscure game. But I have a website called virtualalex so I better play the part.

My nickname used to be very uncommon. But now days when you search ICQ users, IRC, DC or what ever, you will find loads of em'. When I first started to use ICQ back in early '97 I only knew one with the same nick as me, and he took the name after me. Bwahaha! :D Sandbox nickstealing. :)

I AM SO KICKING MYSELF!!!!!!!!!! I searched google for Chamale. Of the first 5 results, there was a guatemalan wrestler, my ICP profile, 2 of my TASes, and Beau Chamale's blog. Apparently Chamale is a last name. Then result number six... Is for a place in Slidell, Louisiana called Chamale Cove. What's wrong with that? I WAS IN SLIDELL A WEEK AGO!!! I won't go until either next year or the year after that.

primorial#soup seems to be unique. The first six hits refer to me, and the rest of the 2600 or so seem to either be math articles dealing with primorials (n#, the product of all primes less than or equal to n), or misspellings in science articles talking about primordial soup. My other nick, acbuist, shares a similar fate. Either me, my site, or misspellings of 'a cubist'. As for my real name, I'm also fairly confident that I'm the only one in existance. Mainly because I know everyone with my last name in the United States, and Michael is typically spelled differently in polish (usually 'Michal', but 'Mihal' and 'Mihai' are common too (I actually work with a guy named Mihai)).

The first three pages on google are basically a list of forums I've registered at. Interestingly enough, my hook submission here is the first result. Also noticed that gocha has a blog, where I'm mentioned in a post about his Mystical Ninja run (though most of it's in japanese). No doppelgänger as far as I can tell.
