is still an "Official List Oldtimer" =AE.  You are dead right about the
"welcome" part, though.

You know, WasteOfTime ol' rutabaga, you really ought to change your handle.
=46rom WasteOfTime to something more apt.  Something like,
"DefinitelyGotAClue," or "SmarterThanTheAverageBear," or maybe just
"GetsIt."

Don't be afraid to do this, I did it myself.  I used to go by my Indian
name, "TwoDogsFuckingInTheYard," but it finally became too much typing to
bother with and I'm digressing again...

But after a perceptive analysis like the one you just wrote, "WasteOfTime"
just does not fit.
