== Redirect? == 

 Thank you for your question on my page about whether I would consider doing something to make my username not red. I didn't know my red username was a red flag that brands me as someone not serious; you're the first person to tell me that.  It's an interesting question, but strikes me oddly, as  I would hope you (or anyone who edits at Wikipedia for that matter) would be intelligent and unprejudiced enough to be able to  judge my comments and edits on their merit, rather than dismissing them out of hand as coming from a vandal or (I forget what other appellations you mentioned) simply on the basis of the color of my username.   Actually, I think I may keep it just like it is, even having been warned.   A great number of people have treated me well and taken me seriously in spite of my being branded with scarlet letters; if I keep the red letters, then I'll be able to tell who values me for the value of my contributions and who would value me only if I took on protective coloring.  I'd prefer to work with the former and avoid the latter.   Thank you.  (In Proud Red Letters)
