36. It would be ironic if you didn't actually regret it
Also, it would be ironic if you did.

2. I am ambivalent.
More pros than cons, but not by many...

Then again, I'm biassed, since I like Futurama and STNG.

33. Thanks
knowing Lelapin, that makes sense. She's a voracious reader and loves all things history-related, especially British.

8. February 1st is going to be the morning after around here.
In the heat of the booze and the passion and the euphoria people made choices they may not be entirely happy to wake up with. Kind of like sobering up and finding "Fuck you, Boss!" tattooed across their forehead.

11. You can always temporarily change your sigline
to what your old name was :)

Just use the html coding to get the red color and similar wording.




This is not the DU member formerly known as Kentauros. :P

I am confused. Who did you used to be & if you simply changed your name why is your post count starting over?

15. I don't think so..
At least not the 'normal' people.

Error: You've already changed your name, you cannot change it again.

21. Yeah, that was odd. I saw that, so tried to see if I had the option (not that I want to change it)
and it gives me an error :

Error: You've already changed your name, you cannot change it again.

Maybe there was a bug that got fixed after he changed his twice, but I don't think anyone can now.

18. Don't worry. None of the important people changed their names.
:evilgrin:

Hey, it took me a while to come up with Midlo, do you really think I can come up with a new name in 10 days? Series. The pressure.
