wait. One of the best parts of Old Internet was when a forum user would "quit forever", then come back the very next day with a brand-new username and just act like nothing had happened
And it wasn't a secret or anything (our accounts at this one particular place were linked to partially-masked IP addresses that displayed publicly), it was just a funny way to draw a line and start over
Nobody really gets to start fresh anymore
