Agreed... adding your own name into your existing nick, ok but what about all the non-regular members who will now be confused by YOU. YES YOU BLIND MELON.

You're not comparing lemons with lemons here.
There are other issues around nick changes (which are permissible, "Blind Lemon van Schalkwyk" being the 4th nick that I can think of that I've used on this forum). For example, what about the guys with "good dealings with..." in their signatures. Some folks have been kind enough to include X-rated Bob in there, but should they all change their sigs now?
I recall when Mr M became Mr T. Suddenly I saw my name in a "good dealings" list of somebody whose nick I didn't recognise. Huh? I had good dealings with that guy? Who he?
