    Username change

    I have been a little concerned about internet privacy, especially after reading our friend Ntbluesguitar's post a few days ago. So I am considering having my username changed (Sérgio is my real name).

    Could I have this done, please?

    Sure. I can't do it for you, but I will put the word out. What would you like it to be?

    There was an electric violinist named Don "Sugarcane" Harris, who played on records by John Lee Hooker, Frank Zappa and Johnny Otis. In 1970 Harris joined forces with British blues musician John Mayall when the latter was forming his first all American backing band.

    You'll be in good company.

    At least now I won't have to press and hold my "e" key to get the accented version every time I write your name Sérgio. Er, Sugarcane.

    I never did figure out how to accent the 'e' so this will be easier.

    Well, considering that you’re of Portuguese descent like me, I guess that’ll be useful, ‘cousin’!

    Re: Username change

    Like I told the moderation in private, the username Sugarcane didn’t feel as ok as I expected so I created this new profile in order not to pester the admin staff with another change.

    This one is fine, S. Cane

    However I can’t help it, I miss my original register date (2014) and post count, which I’m proud of (8 years being an official TFF dumbass! )

    Is there a way of merging the two user profiles or altering the post count and join date on this one?


    Thanks and sorry for the trouble, I swear it’s the last time :)
