Will You Change Your User Name During Amnesty?
IIRC, Skinner told me there will be user name amnesty after the election.

I'm going back to bertha venation.

Will you change your name?

4. Nope.
I am a registered dem, but a green at heart.
I've stuck with it through past amnesties back when the 'green' stigma was worse here.

Though it seems a little pointless, since people will figure out who we are once we reveal any personal info at all, it might be worth some peace of mind in other ways.

That's always been one of my favorite songs. Must have heard it a million times and never get sick of it.

I just recently came across what I think is the best video I've seen of Jane Says.

it's a little too easy to find out who I am. Would not care normally, but ... I don't trust the freepers. On the other hand, most of them are probably too ignorant to figure it out anyway.

Which one?

I love SoupChef, but I use that one on other boards, plus it's not uniquely me, as there are other people elsewhere with the same username. Plus, I kinda want something sparkly. :)

Seriously, I want input. Which one should I choose?
