That's Doctor Face. I didn't laze about for years at college and scrape a PhD by the skin of my teeth to be known as a plain Mr...

Very interesting.

I was just about to give y'all a dissertation on how hard it is to change a username. So, I went to my own board and changed a test user's name (Testing to Testing1). No problem. No extra user created. No posts lost. Humph!

Course, Bill's got nearly 30 times the number of members I do, so if just one user wants to change their user name each month at mine...that means he'd have to change 30 people's names/month. And you have to get into a special area, look up the name...etc. Oh well.

Might want to think twice, Doctor -- Mudface. Now there's a screen nic not soon forgotten. Just think of someone you've helped (like me) having a conversation in a crowded restaurant. Somebody walks by my table on their way back from freshening up to hear "...then Mudface saved my life by..."; get 'em thinking about **** Tracy movies and all...

Hehe, more like 'that bastard Mudface still owes me a tenner...' .

Sorry to hear you're not too well at the minute, Jon, hope you get better soon.

Thanks, Mudface... only a tenner, eh, ya cheapskate!

Regards,
Jon

Well, and he's using a different board than you as well. :wink:
