Multiple usernames don't count. Hence, I didn't add manofsteal's count to gorickey's count.

A "Top 5 most changed/banninated usernames" list would include Ca$h however...

I chose Jack Daniel's because it is considered a staple beverage for alcoholics. It's like bread.

Scotch Whisky is a treat enjoyed only every so often.
