Either that, or change it entirely, and introduce the new you by flaming the old you on one of the threads, and we'll figure the old you was like scared off by your massive flameage or something, and the new you has replaced him, like a cowboy in a knife fight.

See, that way I always know if someone's talking to me or not. When someone shouts "Bill," I just assume they mean someone else. (My mother never believed me when I claimed this, though.)

That's probably the best way to read it, actually, since it's originally based on my initials: JMC. I couldn't be jmc325 (3/25=birthday) at yahoo.com (it was taken), so I spelled out the J. Only later did I realize it could be read as Jay McSomething.
Sarah, I've recommended that Nordicskillz take the name Auburn Dalliance.

I was going to say I don't remember where Masonic Boom came from, but then I remembered it was a Spacemen3-related screen name. I used to have different screen names for different boards, depending on the topic of the board - hence I was Tabitha's Socks on a Blur board and Paranoid Spice on a Radiohead board. But Masonic Boom was the only one that stuck. (Pity, I quite liked Paranoid Spice, it really bothered pompous Radiohead fans who didn't get bubblegum.)
I quite frequently refer to people as their screen names. As in "Oh, look, Doomie is stalking us, here he is in another record shop!" (To the point where I think HSA actually believes that it is his real name.) And at the FAP, I introduced HSA, saying "This is Joe" and got blank looks until I added "Handsome Sound Artist?"
