Without registering a new account from a seperate e-mail address?

I have come to doubt the wisdom of having my real name for a username.

One sends an e-mail to Tubadiva at aol dot com and politely asks her to change it.

Do not reregister with a new name -- that's a big no-no here.

Yeah, it was. I've posted an announcement for you in the Official Record of Name Changes Thread (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&forumid=2). :)

I have a question but I won't waste a new thread on it - what is the most number of changes by a doper?

I have changed mine once, to something which I liked for about a week.

Gazelle changed her name twice (from Canthearya to Gazelle from Hell).

SanguineSpider recently changed her name to Nine(s) Times Nywt (?) and back again to SanguineSpider.

Generally speaking, you get ONE (count 'em, ONE) name change.

There are a couple of exceptions under rare circs. Mods got plenty to do without changing someone's screen name every time they get the hiccoughs.

I think Flami meant to link to this thread (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=205713).

SanguineSpider was briefly known as Nines Times Nymph.

On second thought, maybe I should have included my sig since part of it is kinda sorta relevant to this thread...

Yeah, I did. Thanks, cityboy916. No idea how my link ended up as one to the ATMB forum. Oh well, as long as I have people around to save me.. I'll be fine. ;)
