I needed a username when I decided to participate in the "Idaho Plate" 
contest. (I had been practising with the daily pics and I was pretty impressed 
with my chop.

 ) Inspiration was nowhere to find, so I came up with "aliased" 
(as it is an alias for my real name. how creative 

 ...) Off course this was 
before I learnt of the more common use of the word alias on this forum.
My ill-chosen username keeps causing confusion. I guess there isn't a way to 
change it without losing my portfolio and vpp, is there?
