Would it be worth having a stickied thread for those of us who have moved over from the old forums to say who we were if our userids have changed? I am the same, but many people won't be.

Am still the same gnome, although I hadn't written on bridgetalk for a bit. Seems more convenient to post here now though.

I can think of two obvious reasons why you are now Jeremy 69. One is that Jeremy 1 to Jeremy 68 are taken. The other is .... :(

If only that were true in my case! How about I got bored trying low numbers?

I was my full name over there - Nick Warren.

For those who can find the same avatar - or a similar one - that would help too.

Why 'in the states' ?

I'm probably guessable, although it wasn't exactly the same id.

"What Was Your Name in the States?" was a poem by Carl Sandburg. It later became a folk song sung by, among others, Woodie Guthrie. Or maybe it was the other way round. There's a sort of discussion of it here.

Why is that, Frances? You are of course not obligated to answer, this is a question out of curiosity.
