    I was wondering why you wrote your user name in the same style as a prepubescent boy would do on the back of his pencil case?

    Depends on where you live.

    In Sweden for example, file-sharing is now officially recognised as a relegion.

    http://www.digitalspy.ie/odd/news/a358566/file-sharing-officially-recognised-as-a-religion-in-sweden.html
    Sweden has officially recognised file sharing as a religion.

    The Church of Kopimism, which has around 3,000 members, is a pro-piracy religious organisation that believes "information is holy and copying is a sacrament".

    The official website states: "The community of kopimi requires no formal membership. You just have to feel a calling to worship what is the holiest of the holiest, information and copy.

    "To do this, we organise kopyactings - religious services - where the kopimists share information with each other through copying and remix."

    This is the third time in more than a year that the Church of Kopimism has tried to be registered as a religious organisation.

    The country's government were eventually swayed after the Church formalised its method of praying and meditation.

    Spiritual leader Isak Gerson commented: "Being recognised by the state of Sweden is a large step for all of kopimi. Hopefully, this is one step towards the day when we can live out our faith without fear of persecution."

    I wish I had known this before the last census. Declaring my relegion as Jedi was so 2007.
