The Story Thus Far
OnceUponaTime,
MikeSmith seemed to be inactive on the wiki, Another
Mike
Smith was quite active. Another
Mike
Smith contacted
MikeSmith to see if he could 'take over' the page. Once permission was obtained, Another
Mike
Smith dropped his 'first name'.
Heh, yeah, and then The
New
Mike
Smith
(that's me) kinda went away, too, sorta. ;-) I've been doing the QuickChangesJunkie thing, but haven't had a whole lot so say lately. --
MikeSmith
Moved here from MikeSmith, after the switch from AnotherMikeSmith
OK then, I heard back from the fellow who "had" this page, and he's given me the go-ahead, so that's it. AnotherMikeSmith is no more; he's now just plain MikeSmith. I think I'm going to leave all my old sigs in place, and just redirect through AnotherMikeSmith to this page, unless anyone thinks that's unwise. -- MikeSmith (It's unwise only when/until another
MikeSmith shows up. --

Welcome! (I guess that's what you say in a situation like this.) Do other folks have permission to make the name changes as they see them? It would almost feel like rewriting history. --

Uh...sure, if you like. I guess I'll probably end up doing the same.
He didn't change his name, He just dropped his first name.
Hee, hee. Someday, I will evolve into a mononominal, then maybe someday just an unpronounceable symbol, perhaps '�' - although then, I'll only be able to participate in Wikis that have been modified to recognize a solitary 0xA7 as a WikiName.
Did you change your cookie to just MikeSmith?
Oops! No. Thanks for pointing this out.
If the original
MikeSmith left any signatures lying around Wiki, you should probably remove them so that they become anonymous, and not linked to you.
Good point, thanks!
Perhaps just change them to Old
Mike
Smith?
Turns out there aren't any, anyway.
2002-04-15: Thanks to a fit of procrastination, I've hunted down the remaining Another
Mike
Smith backlinks. The only ones that remain are the various
ChangesIn pages and the assorted .*
MikeSmith.* pages. --
SeanOleary Hey, thanks! --
