"nom de guerre" by the way.
I try very hard to hide my disfuncitonal online persona from real people.

Dang!, I spelt it that way didn't look right. Anyway on thinking about it should it not be "nom de Code" 
|
|

The Frogs dont pronounce the last part of a word, so the way you spelt it it would sound 'geh'. To have any chance of hearing the 'r' it would need an 'e' after it, and because its a long 'r' it is two of them.
Anyway, perhaps "nom de 'I can get away with saying anythibg because it is the net'"

In this case "surnom" or even better "pseudo" (for pseudonym).
"Nom de code" is rarely used for a living being.
I have never heard of "Nom de guerre", we call it "indicatif" =code name.

Nom de guerre, comes from many English things about the French code names in use from Napolenic to WW2 and the early days of the Vietnam confilict. Is 'indicatif' a common word as I have never come across it before (mind you my German is poor & French worse!  )
|

It is common in military, especially aviation. it is the translation of 'code name' or 'call sign'.
|

 Had never seen it before!
|

|
BTW - it's dysfunctional

Who cares, it is English... 
--edit--
Or perhaps not. Dis is the Latin form of the Greek Dys, apparently, and Funciotn is a Latin word, so...

Yes, we don't want members of the public seeing us sitting around the office in our pants, drinking beer.

Must be hot where you are.

They are stalking you! 
Regarding the Skype you should be able to see them and they should be able to see you no matter what skype version...

Why do we abbreviate Master-Slave architecture to S&M ? 
... such stuff as dreams are made on
|

Slave & Master
Further explanation would result in non-KSS postings.

And M&S is a totally different kind of torture, especially on a Saturday.
