Greetings from Seattle.
No, I am not getting married. But I might change my DG "handle". When I joined, I had never joined an on-line group before, I did not know that my log-in name would be my public name, so I did not choose an astoundingly clever or convenient name, as is obvious.
I asked last year if I could be PineNut (DG will change your name once only) but the administrators said no, because there was once a member named pine nut, in 2007, who left without ever making a post :(
Today while reading a garden book I suddenly realized I could be Chlorophilia! It's a bit long, but I suppose it could be shortened to the nickname philia (I am female so this works).
Pros- catchy. shorter than my current name, so easier to type and remember.
Cons- you know me as mlmlakestevens, prior threads would have my old name (I think).
What do you all think about my brilliant idea?
