How about changing your name to **The Agent Previously Known As Foxtrot** , retains your identity while preventing any mix-ups.

Heh, but that would make this thread’s title a total contradiction. It also might confuse some people even more to see **AT** ’s name in every one of **AF** ’s posts. Anything distinctive should do the trick, IMO.

Why don’t you get yourself promoted to Sargent or something? Do you lack ambition to move up the ranks?

However, we’ve never seen **Agent Foxtrot** and **Argent Towers** in the same place at the same time. I’m just sayin’, is all.

But if you change how are we then to confuse you with **agent cockroach, Agent Cooper, Agent Grey, agent little, Agent orange, Agent Smith, Agent Whynotski, Agent Zed and Agent Zen**?

Suggestion: you could change your name from Agent Foxtrot to something else.
