You'll always "The Ol' Trader" to me. :D
Besides you're already over 5k in posts. Name changing will have to wait until you reach 10k.
Or at least we could have a name changing thread.
I vote for Beggin Jr. |

Bets please gentlemen (and ladies). |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Say TJ, your point about slowing down in the gear trading is well made. I know I have backed off buying stuff considerably. That is, I didn't buy anything in January, and my one big temptation for February (Serge's OOO-42) is subsiding. This may be a sign that 2009 will be an off year. Personally, I spent so much last year on building and furnishing the courtyard that I need to sort out my priorities if I am serious about ever retiring. |

It's good you're keeping your name. We're never gonna stop calling you Trader, and if you changed it, the newbies wouldn't be able to keep up. |
