at the same time as i see the point you make (about your name getting changed), i think that thread sorta shows how silly the entire name change process gets...

the problem really is that to just give you a name change and nobody else is pretty mean and unfair. If one member can do it, anyone should be able to. The problem is that people will start to change names so rapidly that there will be confusion in Quotes, older posts, quotes in older posts and whatnot. Besides, do I really want to go figuring out who is who after a radical name change? Not really...

guess we'll have to see what the GW administration decides on this one.
