I feel that I should change my username, as it’s not terribly accurate any more. But to do so I really need access to a userlist so I can try ideas out and not waste anyone’s time… any way I can get that? ---

Two ways. Go to the [Advanced Search](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php) page, type in your new name and a list will pop up with similar names. Email/PM an Administrator with your new name and they’ll check. ---

Hey, **Angry** … I mean **Happy** , since you have a custom user title, you might want to change it to “formerly Angry Lurker” or something similar for a little while so people aren’t confused. Unless, of course, you _like_ having them confused 😉 ---
