| I always thought the art to picking a good username is not having any numbers at the end. If you require a single number, then somoene already beat you to it and you are settling for 2nd place. |

| I've been lucky in that I got on the net early enough to have had Swamper available most of the time -- the rare times it wasn't, swamp3r always was. :) |

This would be fine if I could transfer my old account to it but it seems you can't. . |
I'm pretty sure nothing changes except the name you use to log in. And also signing your life away to Google. I once saw a documentary on Google - did you know that every search that has ever been typed into the Google search engine is saved and stored forever. Since the first day. More importantly they associate every search with the ip address that searched it - and they relate this ip address to a person, more time than not - you. |

Did you know they make this information available to you and you can even personalise it for future searches? Do you really think they do it just to keep track of what you do and report your activities to the founders of the New World Order? |

Plus most ISPs use dynamic IPs so it's not like all of your searches are coming from the same IP address. Also Lira's dress shoes have rubber soles LOL.
:haha: :p |
