For Jenny, our most kind and benevolent Goddess of Roman Trumpets;

Having sent a request for a name change through channels (as instructed), is it safe to assume you will respond via email with a yes or no?  
How long does the request take to process?

More than 29 minutes, apparently.

I went with DorkVader since I said I would go with whatever name got the most votes.

I did change the alternates though since they had such a poor showing. 2nd choice is C. Deserticola Sithae and 3rd is Moose
