Perhaps OT but I never really understand why anyone would "need" to change a nickname -- after all, every single nick was self-selected by the user himself/herself. To be honest, if you ask me, the most important aspect of any post is the quality and the accuracy of the information within it. Nothing else really matters, and regardless of the nickname, it will not affect the perception or interpretation of the contents of a post. In my view, perhaps there is a useful life lesson to be learned here, which is simply that we all need to learn to accept the outcomes of the decisions we make. -- J.W.

100% agreed.

People take a fast nickname thinking that they would use LQ only once.
Then they realize that LQ rocks and want to make their nick "cool".
Like JW said, a decision was made. Accept it!
