in reply to name change

Sorry, no. We don't have a way to change handles. Yes, you can now petition one of the gods, as outlined here.

Having said that, I personally think it would best to simply "retire" (e.g. stop using it) the one you're using and create a new login. (I know of one monk that's already done this and suspect a few others have as well.)

Given the explanation offered on your home node and the fact that you've got some write-ups and time already invested, I'd just keep using the one you've got. To my mind, there's nothing wrong with one's boss knowing you have a sense of humor and/or are a bit of a geek, especially with regard to old SF movies. :-)

Update: Four and a half years after this node was originally posted, this ability was added by a generous noder. Based on gentle nudging, I decided to gently rewrite this bit of history. Normally, I prefer not to. It seemed appropriate in this case. YMMV.

    Thank you for a kind response. I figured that it was unlikely.
