I don't believe I am out of compliance
I admit my username is a little bit of a red flag. I'm a soon to be resident of Matagorda Texas and my intentions are to help market the town in general not any particular company or org. My username does not reference any company or organization. I am an individual contributor and not part of any tourist organization, although will soon likely be a member of the visitors bureau.

If you still believe my username to be in violation (or bad taste) please let me know and I will request that it be changed to something else. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matagordatourism (talk • contribs)
