Hi. I've created a new user name for the reason I state on my user page. While thinking about what to use, I saw your name on AfD and it reminded me of Sandestins, magical creatures from some of Jack Vance's books. I hope you do not think I would try to impersonate you or that the name would be a source of confusion. If you object, I will change it. Sandestin 00:42, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- Cross-posted to your user talk from mine. Please continue disussion here.
- Hello! Thanks for notifying me. I had no idea that I am a mis-spelt magical creature...
- Frankly, since Wikipedia:Username prohibits "names that can be confused with other contributors", I'd much prefer it if you would change it via Wikipedia:Changing username. I think that would be beneficial for both of us in the long run. Consider this AfD, where a newbie suspected that Fagstein was a sockpuppet of mine just based on the similarity of our names. We'd have to spend a lot of time clearing up confusions like "but you voted already".

- Well, that's too bad. Nothing else has struck my interest in a while that wasn't too pretentious or precious. I'll keep this account low profile and stay off AfD until I think of something I like better. Sandestin 05:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
