    Unfortunately yes: on every other board I'm a member of my name is Aphistionakis, but I screwed up my registration many moons ago and had to do it again.

    Not sure. Discovery1 has tradition behind it, but I think theproudmad might be more descriptive, at least from mosts point of view.

    Everyone ends up calling you your old name anyway. I still call Kaiser Capo, I just can't help it.

    I wouldn't like to change mine, anyway.

    I know what you mean BKS. I used to be called Byzantine_Prince, and then I asked for it to be changed to Byzantine Prince, but people kept calling me Byzantin_Prince for some reason.

    I mean it was the same name but with an underscore, but people remembered it more.

    That underscore defined you.. your definately not the same Byzantine_Prince you used to be..

    I would remove "Prince" from it, to be only "Laridus Konivaich," I think, but then again, I might not change it after all...

    Oh Yes!

    I made a silly mistake.
    That fat king Louis le Gros is Louis VI, not Louis IV.

    I've been expecting a pedantric lecture about it by some wiseguy ever since day one - but no-one seems to have noticed. Phew!
    Or maybe they've just been polite about it...

    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    Heh. I'd change mine to JAG for a day and start a series of posts in the backroom expressing violent approval of monetarism, the American armed forces, and the death penalty. I'd come into the frontroom and claim my favourite food was whelks and asking if there were any other Tori Amos fans on the board.

    Then I'd revert to being EA and watch the fun.
