Old Unused User Names

So what is the big problem with flushing old, unused user names? I put the wrong email address in when I signed up for a user name. Wham. The secret code goes somewhere into the ether. The name has never been used. But, is it available. Noooooo! If I write Anandech, will they purge the old name. Based on my experience so far, Noooooo!

Do you sell advertising by the number of "members?" Purge those old names once in a while.

Sigh, "Whitling" should be spelled "Witling." But Anandtech never flushes old member names. Even if you ask them.

That's a bold faced lie. I've seen them do it time after time.

 
Oldmoboat, did you brush you teeth with gunpowder today? I ask because you're shooting off your mouth. It might well be a mistake on my part but it takes a lot of bark to start with "That's a bold faced lie." Lying depends in part on what a person believes. Whereas being an asshole can be observed from one's post.

Minendo, it's been a while since I've written. I'm not sure specifically where I sent it. However, based on Mr. Tact's amswer, I'll give it another try. Thanks.

Don't be confused, I am always an asshole when I read a foolish post.

Quoted for posterity.

Why not ask the MOD to change your name to "...Witling..."?

I can understand why they won't recycle names.. not-with-standing "them doing it time after time". Unless I'm mistaken, who knows when a registered member may return.. but, in your case you could ask to expunge the error of two records for the same party.. they should be able to do that, maybe.🙂
 
Porbleemo, thank you for your link. And, while I'm here, I apologize for my initial rudeness on this board.
