As have been said, there is a registration service that makes it harder
to steal nicks.

There is no guarantee that anyone who claim to be this or that really is
who he say he is. On the other hand, a lot of us have been there most
every day the last 5 years or so and after a while you do get to know
the guy (or girl) behind the nick.

In the special case of you I'm pretty sure we would spot it very fast if
someone is pretending to be you. And if someone can fool us he would be
just as good as having the real thing in the channel :-)
