Can we seriously change this "User formerly known as" bollocks?

[Thumpalumpacus]

My point is that logically it is a waste of code space.

Considering that one can only change his name once a year.

I can understand using it as a means of recognition so that we cannot misconstrue a member due to a name change, but even then we always recognize each other because we spend enough time here getting to know one another.

Not everyone recognizes a new screenname. "Always", you say.

Logically speaking, if it doesn't affect you, why are you spending so many keystrokes on it?

And if it does affect you so deeply, why aren't you complaining here?
