Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I would suggest that when the stompies receive an email, they respond with "thanks, we really appreciate knowing that we're doing some good. I will post your email, but just wanted to get your permission to use your name on a public forum."
I like that idea. That way you know if they thought they were sending a public thank you to the board.
Didn't one of them say they tried to post but couldn't figure how or where so they just emailed the admins?
I kind of thought in that case they were trying to get the post through, but emailed privately by default. It is enough to know someone appreciated, but if they were writing thinking they were writing to the board, I wouldn't mind knowing the name.

The writer in question did register, but didn't know where to post. If s/he had posted, all you would have seen was the username which would have given you no clue as to the real name.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
Ahhh I understand.
The suggestion is still a good one in case they would have signed the post.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"
The fact that people took time out from all that crap to thank us is enough. Even if they just write Ryan Seacrest's dialogue it's still cool that they made the effort back.

My thought exactly. Bless their beleaguered hearts.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Could a stompy kindly change my name back to Scrappy? I may have family cruising around in here shortly and I want to be somewhat incognito.

Done.

Because books.
Could a kind stompy possibly change my name to simply Amy? I don't think there will be any confusion about Amys/Aimees at this point. Thank you!
