Another name change request

Hello Anandtech Moderators,

I was wondering if I can change my username to "macwinlin". The reason is that my username is using my initials which is dumb on my part and even dumber to use on over 200 posts. It may not be a big deal and I may be just be overly paranoid, but I'd rather not take that chance. Thank you for your time.
 
You'll possibly get quicker response if you PM the mods directly.

PS, that's username 'Anandtech Moderator' 😉

Heh, it's not a good idea to have your full name in your email, either... 😉

Anyway, I've been using this nickname (which rather obviously corresponds somehow to my real name) online since I first got on teh intarweb some years ago, and haven't had any problems. Of course, it's better to err on the side of caution, and I would have, except that I've had this nickname for so long that it's stuck permanently with me, even if I were to change it now.

I use 4 different nick name on various forums. This name being the most prominent. I did occur to me that too much info is available about a person if the use the same name, everywhere.

Yeah, pretty dumb choices on my part for both the e-mail addr. and username.

Thanks to all for their suggestions and comments.
