Did I screw things up by reregistering under a new name?
I used Zeke914, then just Zeke for 4 years and 10,000 posts even. Now I'm "milt" my real name. Seems that many of the BBS members are having a hard time with this. Should I have Wayne combine milt with Zeke and go on from there? I know this is terribly trivial, but it's starting to bug me.

A newbie with less than 500 posts shouldn't be posting polls.

Moses, that is funny. I love it. You should have read what Randy Webb posted yesterday. "A guy with 341 posts doesn't know anything.
" I and a few others burst out laughing, but the poor thread starter (a newbie) didn't get it and went away pissed. He thought he was being ganged up on. It was hilarious!Keith, too funny, also. |

Maybe a note to Wayne could up your post count to where it should be? Then you could go on using your real name, and also enjoy the newbie respect you deserve. On the other hand, if a newbie is that thin skinned....

Who the heck is Zeke and Milt? Should I know these guys?
 Why are people having a hard time with it? You post enough for BBS folks to see the change and it seems pretty obvious based on your sig but maybe that's just me. I vote to keep "Milt" but if it really bothers you then do what you have to. FWIW, I don't really care what you call yourself just don't stop posting! That would be a real problem.

I still like Zilt...
I don't know that anyone has problems with it - a few have commneted, jokingly. Besides, I thought you felt that reaching 10k posts was bothering you, and that the re-registering under a new name was a way to partly take care of that (?)

What?!?!

I vote to keep it the way it but I'm cool either way.
You could edit your 10k post with a little note for the "unwashed heathens" so they could get a clue. Then, take out the "zeke became milt" line, add a link to your sig named "newbies click here" taking them to the aforementioned 10k post. Or is that too complicated?

I'm used to Zeke, and it's a shame to loose 10k+ posts, but neither is really a problem.

Yeah I miss the Zeke avatar too. But then, who am I to talk? I used Martha Stewart as my avatar for a while.

I think you should go back to Zeke. Unless you confront issues from the past, they will always come back to haunt you.

Eggs are removed from the female and put into a bucket. Then milt (or sperm) is added to the eggs.

Doesn't matter to me one way or the other.

Who was this "Zeke" person? Does Milt really exist?
Just bring back the Zeke avatar and all shall be forgiven ;-)

Fly your colors! I thought of you as Milt even when you were posting as Zeke. (But then, I have fewer than 1000 posts, so my opinion may not count for much.
