content: How come people are able to change their names? Thats not common to most forums. I was wondering why Mechatrommer was chiming in with quasi-english on posts like he had been doing it for years but appeared to be a noobie - than I realized it was just Shafri.

content: the thing is it just gets confusing. I just thought you were not around so much as I've been busy lately. Really changing name is not a great idea. there will be a setting in there somewhere but really regular members need only adopt common sense
