subject Re: Username change request ---4th request

Thank you for your email.

Per our policy, we do not allow member's to change their name and attach the new name to their old posts. We do allow a one-time username change, but it essentially involves re-registering with a new name and starting over with zero posts and a new registration date -- we then disable your old account so that you will not be in violation of the restriction against multiple handles.

If this is what you would like to do let me know and I will be happy to assist with the process.

Best regards,
