Just thought I’d make my self known and let you all know I love this website. I can’t believe there is so many funny people here. I hope to be able to contribute to the forum here and not lurk to much. Tim ---

You might wanna start by sending an e-mail to [Tubadiva@aol.com](mailto:Tubadiva@aol.com). Please tell her what your screen name is going to be, as this one will clearly not do. Thanks. ---

The username… its a bit of an odd one to tote. It kind of might upset a few people. Kinda like if your username were **Adolf Hitler** or **Joseph Stalin**. ---

My name has never bothered anyone I know before. What am I missing here? Whats with the Stalin references? I come from a long line of McVeigh’s, why should I have to change my username? ---

Did you guys have a problem with a McVeigh that I don’t know about? ---

Oh, no problems with McVeigh, though the killing was kind of a downer. ---

Coldfire is correct. Now it’s entirely possible that out of all of the names in the universe you could have been blessed to have the very same as America’s biggest mass murderer . . . but we’re not big believers in coincidence here at the Straight Dope. So please come up with another screen name, you got lots to chose from. Be creative and let me know, please. SOON. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---
