Silly me, I thought his (her?) name was Eros, the God of Getting Some.  
But it's not.  I don't see what the fuss was - someone's a little testy?
If Ergos is your real name, that's all you had to say.  

My name is Thi.  I'm willing to bet I've said it 2-3 times per
introduction since
my birth.  The last name's as rare.

Sensitivo ergo ex flighto?  Wait till you find Usenet.  Good luck.

Auf Deutsch for the amusement of John Firestone and Ergos:
 I denkte, dass der heisst Eros, so vie der Bekommtetwasgott.  Aber
nein.
 Was gibt so schwer?  Sind Sie 'pissy'?

 Ob Sie heissen wirklich Ergos, sagen Sie so.  Das werdet genug sein.
Wir sind hier
 aber garstiger Amerikaner.

 Ja, under Usenet is schwerer.  Viel Gluck!
