Thanks a bunch for your input, everyone!
I’ve made my decision. 
Now who do I send my “please please please change my name” e-mail to? Do I need to explain my reason for wanting to change?
If you want to truly thank us, you’ll tell us your new name rather than leaving us to wonder.
Email Tubadiva. (tubadiva at aol dot com).
I suppose you might as well tell her why you want to change.
But I want it to be a surprise!
ok, ok, fine, I want to be Antigen. If the mods allow, of course. 
Just checking back in to introduce you all to the new me!
Thanks very much for help in the naming process, and many thanks to Tubadiva for the name change!
