You've got to change your nym

I'm looking through the posts, noticing ma1 & didn't associate it with you even though your picture was there too.

I've been using that handle since BBS times, more than 20 years ago.

Done, the price of celebrity.

Edit:
Whoa, read my post in the "notification problems" metaforum. ma1 is a super-clever pun!

Ahhhh, it's "Maone", "M-A-"ONE".
*Very* clever, Signore! And it took me only two years to figure it out -- probably about the millionth person to get it. That's what I get for (trying to) pronounce it in my mind in Italian, "Ma-oney", rhymes with "phony", "Sony" (TV/computers), "baloney" (US corruption of "Bologna" sandwich meat").
Keep it! (it's a good user IQ test lol)

Gotta give the man credit though, although I got it the first time I saw it, its a clever one indeed. My own is the third incarnation since the old bbs days (anyone remember excalibur? or good old IRC, damn I miss mIRC) and I wish I could be as consistent as Giorgio with my nick, unfortunately alot didn't get xexex (the geeks will know what it is
) and then came xerxes (which some got and others didn't
) and then came Guardian which as been with me since the days of my service and the longest. Occasionally you might find me with Guardian666 if the nick is taken but my avatar is pretty consistent. I wish I could look as good as G in my photo, I might have used it but this is easier
