Following on from Jimbo shaking off the TT internet identity, i have been thinking about doing something similar. Alt has changed since i initially registered as a Y&Y user, first off i have aged 5 years, had two children, got married and no longer sail a Merlin (which i only did in true MB style for 6 months), so its time to wave good bye to MB....Its been emotional.

I am regularly amused by people with a class name and/or sail number in the username and something completely different in their sig. ------------- -_ Al |

Al i was new to forums back then, loads has changed i setup a new account last year but decided to stick with MB. However on reflection, it seems like the time is right. You are right though, being called MB and sailing a 505 is a bit backward. ------------- |

Can you put your 'maiden' name in your signature, so we know who you are? Might be confusing if many people follow. Ruscoe (nee Merlinboy)? ------------- |

| Forum admins can change a person's username if asked nicely. Then you won't have to lose the link to your old posts etc. |

Simon it was a nickname i had at work a few years ago, and yes its a play on the Dukes of Hazard sheriff. At least it has no resemblance to a class of boat i sailed years ago!! ------------- |

Cheers Hawksie, Maybe i should change it to Russyh, although i'm not sure my wife's pet name for me portrays the right hard man image i am after. Not sure how it came about, think it was about the time i was talking about joining the police. Not sure why i dragged it back up, it would probably of been best to let it disappear. ------------- |
