Simple my zodiac sign but with a zero "0" instead of a letter O, and a K instead of the C. I use the same nickname on other Forums too.

Er... it's my name?

I wanted aa_koch, but AnandTech wouldn't let me... :(

Think they'll honor a request to change my username so it matches my Heatware, e-mail, and virtually all other "online services" usernames?
