Default Name has changed

Just a simple post to let you all know that I finally changed my name. Before I started the business, I struggled to find a name other than "diynoob" which I chose many years ago, before I knew anything about C5s.

There's always plenty more to learn no matter how much you know, but I figured it was time to get rid of the old and bring in the new.

The only thing that SUCKS about changing your name, is the fact that it retro's back through ALL of your posts/threads.

I have searched your threads dozens of times over the years based off of "DIYNOOB".

So I could just imagine there are other guys that do the same. If they havent seen that you changed your name, they wont be able to view any of you other threads..

To bad they cant keep your old name on archived threads..

It's wayyy more important to change your name for the business, its just too bad they cant figure out how to do it a little better.

You've done soo many great technical projects over the last couple of years, I just hate seeing all that expertise getting lost in the abiss of the CF.

Hell, your oil cooler thread walked me through my entire install..
