Bummer, Marley. I’m in a similar situation as you, only the name which I use elsewhere and would like to have has only posted one time. And, I actually think that was ME, since I used to read the board occasionally back in college, but by the time I became a regular poster I’d lost access to the email account I had then, and I couldn’t remember the password!
I’ve been wondering if I should ask for a name change, but I guess I have my answer now.
Really, though, it’s a good policy, I’m not saying the mods are wrong or anything.
But it is such charming name, full of evocations of the romance of the South Seas!
For a reasonable price I will reveal the identity of the Doper who was traumatized as a child by the Fiji Mermaid hanging in Seattle’s Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe. Nope, not by the real dead guy standing in the back but by a fish with a monkey’s head sewn on. Pah-thetic.
Had he stayed, it could have confused even everyday Dopers. I saw “Libertarian: BANNED” and had quite the double-take before I remembered. :eek: :smack:
