Interesting. I'm assuming that all past postings, responses, etc are not lost but just linked to the changed name?
"Dave's not Here!"Oh, so now we have to relearn who's who all over again. Nick J ?...doesn't ring a bell.

Interesting thread and I definitely get Christian's point. I joined way back in 2008 before I had purchased our Ericson and it was easier for me to use the same screen name on all my sailing related forums. My screen name comes from a long standing nickname "Slick" and a type of boat that I enjoyed zipping around on a lake with friends in college.
While keeping the screen name on some of the more anonymous forums like SA still makes some sense, I've never really tried to hide who I am here and have had my name in my signature line for years. I also manage a FB group for Olson 911S and a number of people here know me from both places, so it's pretty easy to figure out who I am.

You've convinced me. I just submitted my name change to my actual name. It was "Tafarn ar y dwr" (Tavern on the water in Welsh).
