I think a little history is in order:
I was on TalkBoard when this issue was first raised (but not when the 2006 vote was finally taken).
One member had written to Randy asking for permission to change her handle. Randy turned to TalkBoard and asked it whether it felt this should be allowed and, if so, under what circumstances and with what restrictions.
That is how it became a TalkBoard issue.
