    Changing my name

    I've decided that I'm going to change my real-life name.

    I quite like the name "Mark" for a first-name, and "Read" is a not-uncommon surname in these parts.

    In a departure from normal conventions, I've decided that a middle name of "Forums" would be quite distinctive, given the amount of time I spend here.

    People would then be able to address me personally by clicking on my very own personalised menu option Mark Forums Read

    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Only if I get to change my name to Open Buddy List. No wait... that name sucks... never mind. Hmmm... maybe Search this Thread? Nah!

    I think "Log Out" would be a very fasionable choice.

    "Hey Log, whats happenin"
    "Excuse me Mr. Out, we'll need you to step inside"

    If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein

    Instead of Read, make it Reid, then you could be Mark "Chopper" Reid
