[edit] Name policy

This is apparently difficult for a lot of people to grasp. Given that this page is currently the top Google hit for the individual in question, perhaps this is an appropriate place to clarify the matter. It is either Nick, informally, or Nicholas Tam in its entirety. Please do not mix and match.

The one intentional exception, to date, is at the presently inactive VGMix, where musical contributions were posted under the name Nick Tam for a spell. Mr. Tam has license to make such seemingly arbitrary exceptions as he so pleases. You, however, do not.

Nicholas by itself is considered acceptable in the context of a student-teacher relationship, and as a sign of either affection or extreme indignation.

His five most favourite animated shorts of all time are, in no particular order: One Froggy Evening, For the Birds, Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century, The Cat Came Back and The Wrong Trousers.
