1. I like it, and it's the truth.
Not to say that all Republicans are evil, but their party and its leadership is.

2. I'm lazy
And I've invested 5+ years in the brand. Changing it now would shoot all that to hell.

7. I have NO imagination. No desire really to change my name ...
besides, I'm so in the habit of 'signing' all my posts with aA.

Old habits die hard.

10. As DU's first round draft pick in 2004, I thought it disrespectful.
Plus my name is on my multi-year, mega million dollar contract so I really can't.

16. Not changing mine either...
but I'm finding it amusing to scan through the forums and pick out which names I think are new. I've been right a good percentage and what is even more fun is guessing from the thread who it used to be (before looking to see.)

23. I changed mine last time around.
It shall remain the same. Especially after copyrighting and trademarking. I need the royalties to retire on in my old age.
