Now that I've reached over 1000 posts, a question for DUers

[chillspike]

Does my user name leave you cold? When I first registered at DU I was a newly minted liberal and kind of wet behind the ears. I wasn't thinking of personalbleness when I registered the name, only a user name that I knew would be available. The thing is I'm not a cold person but feel my user name may be giving that impression.

I have no problem starting from square one and zero posts with a new name.

So what does everyone think? Should I get a new user name? Also any suggestions for a new name are welcome.

Thanks. :)

10. Is that Chills Pike or Chill, Spike?

I'll just never understand why anyone would choose a username with no caps and no spaces and expect everyone on this board to take time from their busy lives to figure it out.

Sincerely,

And really, your user name could be any one of a number of different things.

chill spike

c hillspike

It doesn't bother me. I mean it's not like it's "Cold-hearted Bastard" or anything, right? :7

16. I chose my user name as a reflection of how I felt when bush was elected. I am not

about to change it now, it has served me well. As an above poster said, it's what is in your posts that count.

Cheers on the 1000! :)

20. Thank you

Can I post in the lounge now? I think I read a rumor that the unwritten rule for posting in the lounge is you should have at least a thousand posts first. I accidentally broke that rule like five times, though. :(

22. LOL post in the lounge all you want, the water is fine. :) nt

Can't think of anything wrong with that.
