I don't know if this is something that's been around forever and I only just now stumbled across it, but it seems to be one of those rare memes that betrays a true, deep, genuine talent behind it. Mike Reed, the guy behind this exhaustive listing of characters we all know and loathe, has as much skill with caricature as with humor.
I sort of suspect this project has been a long time a-building, but that's one of the things about the Net-- whether you're talking about Usenet, IRC, web-based forums, or comment boards attached to blogs or news sites, the sociology of the participants is pretty much a constant.
It's a great piece of work to self-consciously click through if you've got about an hour to fling to the wind.
