Have I earned the right to edit my HN username?
byoung2: Remember this experience the next time you have to choose a username.  When I worked for Kaplan, I scheduled teachers and tutors, and I once had to tell a student that the person most directly responsible for her success on the LSAT could be reached at drmonkeystud@[schoolname].edu (changed to protect the innocent)I'm really boring when it comes to usernames, opting for the first initial, last name, and a number at the end just in case it's taken.  You won't likely grow tired of it, and there's less explaining to do.
