I've been Lenni with some apendage forever now and it really would be practically the best thing that ever happened to me (honest ) if I could just be Lenni. It would be especially nice when I'm posting from work and have to type some ridiculously long name in every time - there would be far less chance of me getting caught MNing if I had the nice short name I've coveted for the last 4 years.
The person who accidentally borrowed it from me has only ever posted 6 times, and the last time was 2.5 years ago, I'm sure they have mistakenly forgotten that MN even exists. P'haps you could give them a gentle reminder to come back if I can't thieve retrieve my name from them? I would hate to see it go to waste since it is very very important to me.
I promise to meticulously read every word of my Talk roundup for at least the next month and complete every survey for a year if I can be just plain Lenni. Pretty please?
