It's hard Alex, particularly for those babblers who have a strong voice and a unique perspective, and are well-established on the board.
Ultimately, for such babblers, their identity changes will become apparent, even if we don't explicitely say who it is, we may never treat them the same way that we treat a completely naive babbler either.
Of course, if one truly wishes a fresh start, it should be possible, but only by changing the nature of the language and writing style one uses, the topics one responds to, and so forth.
It's a bane and a blessing to be an individual sometimes. I can cut my hair, and get a new wardrobe, but if anyone knew me well before my makeover, they are probably going to recognize me afterwards.
