Agreed. I have tried to get mine changed and got no response from RP when I asked (nicely!).

My reason is more practical and more serious. As FT grows there is a real risk that someone from my employer will join FT and spot me and my 4,000+ posts, because my company is one of those where all internal memos etc are sent, for eg, "From: RJB". This would be less than amusing for me.

If anyone at FT HQ is happy to let me switch (and I've thought of an alternative!) then please PM me. If not, one day I will just set up a new account anyway and sacrifice my post count, but I would prefer something that would change all my historic posts as well.
