In retrospect, is your FT name a mistake?

i have no intention of changing my actual name, so my FT handle is safe...i do wish i chose a really subtle name though, like ILOVETOEARNLOTSOFMILES or something like that.

Not a mistake, but my loss of N-R status (and carrier-specific insights) was the reason I joined FT in the first place - and it's virtually a non-factor now

Actually, my wife's playing Mah Jong with seven other ladies downstairs....not so much about time, it's about hiding out, although I do have some house-boy duties like moving tables and making coffee.
But speaking of you, when I posted this I was thinking of calling you out as I was particularly wondering, is it still newself? When does it become venerable self?
p.s., did you make the LBGP this year?

No, missed the LBGP this year, didn't feel like it this year. I can't party for 3 straight days like I used to.

Can FTers unhappy with their FT name change it???
I am happy with my FT name, but wonder if FTers can change their FT name, and still retain their "history" at FT?

I typed my handle in hastily, and though I think it's relatively memorable, I hate when people think I'm a guy, because of the boy.
And just for the record, newself is still as handsome as a new-self, and I think we established in PHX that _I_ am Spartacus.

Have you had many 'hot tub bonus plan' enquiries? Your handle and that offer may have unexpected consquences.

I'm begining to regret my choice. JerseyGirl was taken already, so I went with the place I'm in now. arizonajerseygirl seemed funny, so I went with the desery I'm in. But, I'll be moving from the Sonoran desert to the Arabian desert. I should have just called myself desertjerseygirl, cause the jersey girl part will always be true.
