Following up on suggestion to create random screen name
Hello,

Per your suggestion, I would like to change BalkDitherGrouse to Gr0banukalo836, for purposes of confidentiality. Thank you!

 * Hey, BalkDitherGrouse is enough random if you are worried about privacy. There's no point further increasing this chain of renames as all these name change logs are public and can be traced back to original. My advice would be abandon this account and scramble it's password and create a new account. &#8208;&#8208;1997kB (talk) 03:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Happy First Edit Day!
 Happy First Edit Day! Have a very happy first edit anniversary!
