Opus is a nickname I have had since High School. I was a real big fan of Berke Breathead's "Bloom County" and had (and still have) a rather impressive Stuffed Opus Collection. It was so bad my own sister cross-stiched an Opus in a Mortar Board as a graduation present for me.
When I went to A&M and got sucked into the world of VAX Forums, VMS, the internet, and small time hacking, I kept the nickname. I know that there are plenty of users with the nick Opus, but I doubt any of them have had it as a verifiable online persona as long as I have (1988).
