I just love this forum about observances... I happen to do many and often nowadays. 
I have for some time now been bothered or have been "bitten by the bug" about people in forum writing my nick emc as EMC. And today, I saw it again in a post... and it didn't bug me anymore!  I smiled when I saw it.
I know I have written somewhere in a very old post that emc is actually my initials. But... I didn't mean to choose my initials as a nickname. Then I probably would have chosen EMC to really point it out more. You see, emc also brings the association to Einstein, and the formula E=mc2, and to make a mixture of them both I chose emc in an attempt to be witty, bright and a bit special since I have always found it really cool that my initals are the same as Einsteins forumula. I am energy, mass and light, indeed! 
I don't know the reason why people choose to rephrase emc to EMC, but to me it has given much more personal meaning than I have found comfortable. EMC to me has pointed more to "ME" as a person, and I found that disturbing to face here at forum, and have kindly requested several people to please respect my original nick emc. It has continued anyway from some people (probably because it's such a minor thing to most so they forget or they simply just haven't seen my request or whatever.) In my aggressive mind I have pondered actions of revenge...  I have fantasized of writing yOGANI and cHRISTI etc  but have luckily been enough grown up to stop myself! 
Now I'm very, very happy for all EMC's in forum. It has helped me to lose a little bit more attachement to my person through my name! That's why the smile came today! There was no sense that EMC was about me. It was about her... the woman that so kindly has been 'carrying me around' for so long without knowing it. There is an increasing compassion for myself here... for the person who has been suffering for so long. Getting the feeling of being a "stranger to myself" at times, in a very comfortable way. Just seeing my person as "the woman" somehow... Hard to explain.
Just wanted to share this observation!

I've been wanting to write E=MC2 for a long time now. I guess you'll be O.K. with that?
