+handle
+
+  Your server account name is known as your "handle."  It is your identity on
+the server.  Some users prefer to have handles similar to their real names;
+others do not.  The choice is up to you.  But whatever you decide to have as
+your handle, please be aware that handles for registered users are permanent. 
+Admins do not change handles for registered users except in extreme cases
+(very rare).  So please select a handle that you will feel comfortable with
+for a long time.
+
+  No two users can have the same handle, of course.  To see which handles have
+already been taken, use the "handles" command.
+
+  Lastly, admins reserve the right to deny your using a particular handle.  If
+the handle you want is offensive or might lead to too much confusion among
+users (such as various reserved words or commands), you may be asked to change
+it.  Profane and crude handles are not permitted.  Unregistered users who
+logon with profane and/or crude handles may be disconnected from the server,
+even without warning.  Unregistered users who persist in adopting
+inappropriate handles may be prevented from accessing the server.
