I'd go with what is the most common spelling of "gorickey"...

I'd change it to Algernon. I'm tired of this extra n hanging around. Someone got it before me, and I never see them post!

I use a much more appropriate user name on other boards, but for some reason, I made my MacNN name based on my e-mail address. Not very much fun.

I keep toying with the idea of grabbing a new name. I toyed with the idea of changing my name when dreilly1 got to 666 posts, but then I forgot about it and by the time I remembered again, I was at 668! Bummer. I guess I'll have to wait for 6666 posts...

You CAN change your user name, simply by reregistering.

e. Just the letter e because it's my nickname in "real life."

I tried having it changed a few months ago but no cigar.

why would you not just change it if you really wanted some other user name?

afraid of losing some length to your e-(postcount)penis?

Probably GMcarsAREbest. Just to piss of Rob/Ca$h/*68.

Actually, I'd probably go with mybuddypete. It's just easy to say and type.

I'd change my handle to ca$h68. That way, someone might actually notice & read a post of mine. As it seems, DBursey is a thread killer.

Centauri.

Because they are my favorite race on Babylon 5, I go by the name at many other message boards, and it just sounds cooler than PowerMacMan.

Keep your original name. It's pretty unique and make me wonder what it means. _dc doesn't have that

I already changed mine... (asked Demonhood very, very nicely when I hit 1000 posts.)

Long ago are the days of Marc2211.
