    Sorry Benny. The comittee decided against it. Benny will have to do!

    (personally i think Benny is better than Ben anyway.)

    We do not like to do changes, it can get to a lot of work.

    Also the alias - Ben is taken.

    I have changed your name to [GSV]Ben now - however, we will not make a habit of doing this and it will only be for special reasons (or bribes )

    I dont see what the big deal with changing peoples names is?
    It hardly takes several hours of your time, and its not like you have to do it all the time.

    Think about it - 10 people a day - at different times request it, it does take time - then they want their users.HEXUS.net account changed.

    At the end of the day I do have a biz to run as well.

    However, I will do it as many times as you like, for the low, low price of £200 a time, plus VAT, and a bunch of flowers for my girlfriend.

    Inquire within.

    Because it's not just a case of changing the name. We have to check if the name exists, if the request is because someone is trying to hide something, if they want a Trust account change as well and so on. And just as a matter of interest how do you know how many times we get asked for name changes ? Do crystal balls actually work these days. Must remember to go buy myself one for next week's lottery numbers.....

    I have to agree with all the Orange text folks on this. If you entered a name you no longer like it should be tuff luck on you, you made the mistake, live with it. Dont take this the wrong way or nething but its its getting a tad annoying seeing name changing requests all the time. Ive noticed quite a few here in recent weeks.

    thank you Dorza....top answer.

    It is hard for people to adapt to new names....but a few here and there, for long termers might be ok occassionally.

    Daniel Owen UK recently had a fantastic name change.....truly sexxeh

    anyway....Twigman, my dear chap, you do seem stressed about stuff. Whats got ya goat man?
