now that you've got an idea how things work around here, how about signing up with a new name? "172" isn't really a username anyway, and people will probably be more accomodating when they do not get the feeling that they are dealing with a number. Besides, a fresh start is often a good idea.
Actually, I think that's a really good idea, but it's up to him, of course. On problem is that in the past, we have had notoriously destructive participants, "24" and "142", who were dubbed with numbers because they refused to login but we needed something to refer to them.
That's not 172/Abe's fault, of course, and it's unfortunate, but nonetheless, I cringe when I see a number-name.
