I agree with Karen Kay- for me personally the worst thing about name changes is just my own snoopish curiosity about who they used to be. But that said, it's still nice to "know" people over time.
> why do people get upset about name changes anyway? why does it make posters here so uncomfortable seeing someone used to post under a different name? doesn't that kinda give a poster who may feel 'outed' a chance to start over? is that really such a bad thing?
