  harold.johnson = hursagamu and megmag futumbu
  sovos = mikhaal, ...
  clay = decadence, ...
  chem = pmchem
  reptile = dragon* [ 5 different chars starting with dragon ]
  Jonin = Admiral Snackbar
  Gebz = Sothrian Geb, Murdoch Rye, Malifici Maugrim
  SusanTD = Vafoe
  MarkovChain<->Metrics (Main), Vexxic(Alt)
  Juno = I am Piotyr, proprietor of Discount Piotyr's Bargain Emporium, convieniently headquartered in Amarr. We specialize in absolutely nothing, but charge zero taxes to our members.
  JamesArhy = Insignious
  melkore = melke, melke smooth
  sanchez = booooooooooooooooooooobs ( but I dont think he plays )
  reelbk = pod0war
  semaphore = unctom
  intothefray = n2thefray
  nitrus = shozo

  dianeofthemoon = diane lunari
  hashd = hashd, Sarena
  dewdman = Admiral Yamato, Fenix Khaled
  jonathan = Jonathan Shack
  ejectorpod = Kal Bulaine and Steve Gibson
  
  We also seem to have a half dozen or so relatively new shackers. There are two corps I'd recommend joining, aside from whatever corps shackers are already in (ask in channel, and join a shacker's corp!). Ex Coelis, and Reddit (from reddit.com). Ex Coelis is arstechnica affiliated, and the reddit guys are like all brand new. You'd need an account at either site.
