S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Would it be too jarring for everyone if I requested a name change? I've been extremely cautious with how my RL name is deployed on the net, and while I know the board isn't indexed, my name is completely unique on the web and off.

I was thinking "esse" for phonetics and from the latin.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Done.

Also, you might want to tag the change for a little while, or something similar.

Like that? Or should I be more explicit?

Also -- no one can see your email if they're not logged in, right? It's not indexed?

Our wings are not tired.

Correct. You can't see the email unless you are a logged in member.

eta: hi esse!

I thought we'd done Prisoner already too, but I can't find any "not a number" threads in the archives. Let's do it!

Yes, love it! Possible that it was suggested, but something else was chosen.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

As an occassional participcant in Boxed Set, I love "I am not a number, I am a free thread" best and "How weird is that?"second best.
