Okay. Sorry about al the confusion, but I have gone back to my original(from June of 99) user name of vanilla. Not vanillanice, but just plain vanilla.  
I will vow to never change it again.

Yes, I was peaches8, but now and forever, I shall be vanilla.  
Okay, ONCE, I posted under fayedruss just to be funny. But I am not nor have ever been the Phaedrus anyone remembers.

Well, I suppose that’s one way of keeping a marriage alive–changing flavors every now and then!

Just out of curiosity, why change at all? It’s just a name. You’ve been all flavours known to man so far. What gives?

The way I see it, it only causes confusion. Hell, a newbie just changed her name to avoid the confusion between peaches and peaches8. I guess she feels funny about it now. There was no need for her to change it to kiffa after all.

I simply don’t get it.
