Default Change of name on this forum
I have come to realise that it is not such a good idea to show one's real name when participating in any sort of forum. This is largely because anyone can easily Google a name and learn too much about one. I cannot find anywhere in this forum where one can change one's name. Can this be done and how ?
Many thanks.

And what's wrong with giving your real name?

Send a PM to DB7 and he'll do it

Giving first names is ok they would be hard pushed to find some thing with only your first name.Or should that be one should only use their christian name.

My namesake is the Author of quite an interesting book, Tube/Subway/Underground Maps of the World, I've no problem being associated with him being a regular Train user myself!

Well, an explanation for that signature would be interesting:

How did you manage to get so much custard from such a small cat?

I live with cat-lovers - and can't stand them myself. This will give them something to think about...
Our fears in Banquo
Stick deep; and in his royalty of nature
Reigns that which would be fear'd: 'tis much he dares;
And, to that dauntless temper of his mind,
He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valour
To act in safety

Advanced apologies for interjecting here but this line quoted comes from an episode of Blackadder Goes Forth.
