Yes but then you may see a name you have long forgotten and see it pop up and think it was the original poster but it would be some interloper who is masquerading as same.

Fantastic Point Oliveoil!

What if Dadslib cropped up again?

or M2T heh heh heh

I suspect there are an awful lot of names that are taken but have never posted. Maybe only auction off those and let the ones that have posted stay.
