Speaking of names, I've requested a namechange twice from John and he persists in ignoring me. Can the supermoderators take care of namechanges?

Alzheimer's is different from "oldtimers" and both those are totally different from sometimer's.
Some times I remember, some times I forget...
Alzheimer's is generally characterized by beta-amyloid plaques on the neurons that causes 1st short-term memory loss, then long-term memory loss. Eventually the sufferers forget how to do non-voluntary functions such as breathing...
Oldtimer's is just generated by age and old. It is not medical and most folks are cantankerous.
Sometimer's is generated by age and is middle-aged. It too is not medical and most folks who have it are honery.
I am nowhere close to be an awesome supermoderator... If that comment was not for me, for that I apologize since some folks on GC are rather touchy and hardcore about appropriatly stating everything on a "free for all" board. But, hey, we have some level of decorum.
