C'mon Rick, the name "Canada" isn't that bad, and parts of it aren't plain and don't . . . . Oh, wait, or did you mean "rws"? Never mind.

Not everyone can have an exciting set of initials like I have, "jnk." (Most people, by the way, pronounce it as "junk," I understand, but they only do that behind my back, so it doesn't bother me. Well, maybe just a little.)

I admit that at first I assumed you were -SWS's younger brother.

But seriously, I like it. However, if you do decide to start over with a new name, please be sure to let us know it's you.

Who do you want to be?

That's a cop out.
Let me repeat.

“If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable,
you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.”

You ask for a reason.

There 'ya go. I like it.

I can't. YOU can.
If it were me, I would create a new user account.

Make it so, #One.

I would contact cpap.com or forum admin and ask them what you need to do. Name changes have happened here.

A new account needs a new email (no biggie). Flip a coin and see what you want to do.

I once asked that in a PM to an administrator... and never got a reply. Maybe I asked the wrong person.
