yeah, I'm in sort of the same boat, nubie.  I just kind of used my default screenname (last name, first and middle initial) that's always free.  I usually don't rummage around forums or post things others can see.  Now I'm stuck with lame-o "clantoncs" for all time.  I guess I could start a new account, but this past week has gone by so slowly waiting to get to vote.  I'd hate to start all over.  You know, I probably could've gotten just plain, simple "Chris"... ahhh. that would be so nice.  
I'd hate to be stuck with Nubie too, but jeez, at least it isn't TofutheGreat.
