But Tiberius can.  Perhaps if you insulted him directly?

Nope. I vote we keep it. It serves you right for being fickle.

I need to change the code slightly so it doesn't repeat names, but I think it's helpful. I might limit it to the names used in the last 3 months though.

It would be less obtrusive if it only listed the name in parenthesis or brackets or something. Do we really need that long line of text? Even just "Formerly known as:" would be an improvement.

Merrr! Small, intolerable changes! Merrr!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I like Rob's idea.

a "previous usernames" link right here would be epic and far less verbose.
