ds but it's pretty easy to figure out if youre really wanted to hide out you might want to change it some more

> Maybe no one really cares, but I would like to just explain myself... Yes, I did changed my name last week, but I want to say that it really has nothing to do with the board. It's because my old name was a rather obvious name for people who know me to figure out, and I'd rather not have them stumble upon all this info about me. I like the relative anonymity of the board, but being able to share and get support about such deeply personal issues.
