To reflect a change that happened to me almost 3 years ago :rolleyes: I had my name changed to reflect who I am and remove confusion for the newbies.
I should have done this long ago but never paid it much attention, it will do away with about 10% of my private messages asking if I am RCWorks :) . Yes, I am. :cool:
And for the rest of you that have been here a while(Yes you old farts :p ), it's one less thing to remember.
Also it gives me a bit more continuity to two other forum destinations I visit. :)
Thanks,
Richard C

I find the corprate lawyer has the IQ of a rattlesnake. They actually improve the look of thier bretheren the Ambulance Chaser.
I try not to think about it... Makes me :mad: and one of my hobbies involves explosives... I have 3 ammo presses - no waiting!
I may have a deal fo Klique

Don't think it only causes pain! :eek: It hurts twice as badwhen your over 45! Take my word for it.
It was long overdue, I thought about it last year, I figured I would have to start a new account but such was not the case. I would have had to copy a number of PMs to save a bunch of info...
Heck the site did not ask me to login, I have it set so it remembers me and the name change did not affect autologin.

Even my dad could not believe they went after me and he worked for North American. (The makers of the P-51)
They have the SkunkWorks domain and they don't use it, they have never used it, but they took it from someone else by force and have had it for more than 6 or 7 years... It's not enough to steal from the taxpayer with the pricing of thier hardware they have to have there hand at all levels... You need to read the screed they sent me. Pages and pages of everything the feel they own or own the rights to, we are luckey they let us use the air!
I have heard horror stories from others too.
They have hired an outfit to look for variations of SkunkWorks such and SkunkWorx etc., this company also will search for related text within the site and while they claim they obey the ROBOTS.TXT file I have seen many reports that they don't.
So beware new startups, it's not paranoia when they really are out to get you.
