Not to be bossy or anything, but I believe test posts belong in ATMB.

So who were you?

Not to bust your chops, more to just to let you know, but…

You don’t have to test a new name (or a new sig). If you check an old post you made (not a thread you started), your new name will show up there. Just a quirk of the Board. (A new sig will replace an old sig in old posts too.)
