Why I'm changing my handle (repost from Green Chip)

Folks, I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past weekend, and I ultimately decided that there are several good reasons for me to change my handle - well, shorten it really..

#1: It clearly has the possibility to offend. When even those that are great arguers and debaters can't help but to take pot shots at it, I think that's a clue I should be taking.

#2: Most people already call me "Moose" anyways.

#3: I've been around on the board long enough, and I've established myself as being a serious, if not professional, blackjack player, that I no longer need to resort to juvenille, attention grabbing tricks in an effort to seek acceptance.

#4: I've been making some fairly big changes in my life in the past couple of months, including physical ones - I'm making an effort to look less like Mussolini and more like a Moose :) - so this seems like a natural step.

So just an FYI for you all.

The fact that you have horns should have been the decider !

where in Western Canada you're from, Moose? I spend much time in BC.

happy! : "I'm making an effort to look less like Mussolini and more like a Moose :)"

"there are several good reasons for me to change my handle - well, shorten it really.."

If it is shortening you want, why not go to 'Moo'? After all it still relates to a four legged critter wiv horns...

"I no longer need to resort to juvenille, attention grabbing tricks in an effort to seek acceptance..."

Lucky you! I'll start to think about that after my 21st birthday!

Home base in Calgary, but have played Edmonton and Medicine Hat too. Small casinos with small limits good for the occasional drive-through on a road trip.
