There was some discussion about this in the Moderators forum before that name was approved. I didn't follow it all, but it appears they decided it was not a big enough problem to worry about.

Okay, thanks for the update Jimallyn.
...and welcome aboard cosmo.

Something I didn't realize when I posted my remark is that cosmo ... erm .. the original Cosmo. ... no longer posts in this forum. I suspect he might take umbrage to this situation if he was still here.

Yes, Cosmo disappears without a word and one month to the day later cosmo appears. This was not lost on me.

I had to do a double-take too! Wonder if Cosmo. will be back? Anyone seen him on another forum?

Welcome to Mint & the Forums

Yes, a bit of a learning curve, but it's well worth it as I'm sure you already know.
