I myself am not assuming. I do not know who may be assuming. I feel some may be assuming that names are changed for valid reason only. I asked Dr Bob a question as to what HE feels could be the reason SOME posters change names *so often* based on reasons that MAY have given to him. I cannot say if it will be more work or less. I think though I do NOT KNOW Dr Bob may see this name change rule has potential.
Some of us may just disagree and that is OK...I for one am for the cap and have been reading the site and a member for many years though some of you may not have seen a lot of posts made by me.
For me I cannot imagine having any name that would make it hard for me to post seeking or giving support. But that is my feeling and opinion. I guess if I did mess up I would find that in 3 attempts I could achieve a name that would allow me to be supportive as well as give support.
