Removing last name from old posts

Message Bookmarked

Hi,

I'm someone who used to post on ILM and ILE fairly regularly, but nowadays only post once in a great while under this new login. My first half-dozen posts on ILM included my last name as part of my (old) login name, and now I'm thinking I'd like to have that removed. Not knowing who the ILM mods are these days, I was wondering: to whom might I send a private message with the above request?

This is something that'll have to occur at database-level. If you want to email me at nf@wh3rd.net with those details you wish censored I can do this for you.

Thanks, Andrew, I've sent you an email just now.

Thanks for writing back. I'm realizing now that I made the problem sound more technically thorny than it actually is, by saying it was my "login name": I should've written "full name". Actually, these posts date back to the Greenspun days, and I wasn't even logging in at the time, so...! My apologies if I've unwittingly put a task on your busy plate that could've been delegated elsewhere. If you could just shorten each of them to "Phil", I'd be grateful. Thanks!

I've now done this.

Just wanted to point out (as I should've done in my previous email) that one of those links actually has two posts from me (making the total # to be changed seven) I'm sure you'd have noticed anyway, but...!

Actually I hadn't noticed, so thanks for pointing it out.
