I'm afraid using a real celebrity's name as your HN username falls into the sort of thing we don't allow here - see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....

I've temporarily banned the account but if you want us to rename it for you to something untrollish, we can do that and unban it.




Sorry! I thought it was in good fun but I guess it's a little too soon.

Can you rename me to EscapeFromNewYork? (in reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_from_New_York)


The limit is 17 chars (edit: doh! I meant the limit is 15 chars and that one was 17.)

We could do EscapeFromNY if you like. Or pick something else?


But that is 17 chars. If it's too long EscapeFromNY is fine


I am idiot; the limit is 15 and I said 17 because I had just evaluated

  > (len "EscapeFromNewYork")
  17
Ok, you're now EscapeFromNY and are unbanned.


Thanks and sorry for the trouble!
