Okay, I know this has been covered somewhere but I can’t find it. Can anyone tell me how to change my username? It messes the board up because of the length. Thanks. ---

I hope you don’t mind my saying, but that’s quite an improvement from \*\*GW’s Evil YOUNGER Sister \*\*. Talk about sibling rivalry. Who wants to be defined in terms of some one else? Even a twin with a la de da 10 minute head start 😉 Speaking of chosing names in haste, mine was chosen because it appeared in the thread I was reading when I signed up and it seemed very clever. Yeah. Until it seems to clash with your latest post somehow. But maybe I’ll get used to it. I notice it now mainly when people are dicussing names per se. Hope to see you and GW around the grounds here.
