apparently my name is causing a stirr. Should I change it?

Epidemic · Feb 6th 2003

I got a polite request to change my alias because there has been quite a few questions about spread sheets I have put up based merely on my alias.

I find it funny because I have been using this alias everywhere I go since I started online gaming. I never thought of the implications of the name when posting code. The name epidemic was chosen by my quake II clan because I spread death with my rail gun like a plague.

If you think I should change it. What would you think would be a good replacement that won't strike fear in the people who want to experiment with my code i post.

Stick to it. Your posts should be enough recommendation

Stick with it :lol:

No, No, No you should definitely change it. I mean when I run VBA code that I downloaded from a stranger on the internet I always know that as long as his name is harmless and cute then the code is assured to contain no malicious routines.:lol:
There is no need to be careful about VBA viruses as long as the name is good!!!

Stick with it, if they have a problem let them deal with it.

I guess the one who names himself epidemic must also not be a virus maker because in star trek logic it would be illogical.

No. Keep it.

The needs of the one outweigh the whinings of many.

CONTAMINATION IS REACHING EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS!

Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every
stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is
global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. In
the midwest alone DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property
damage.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
* as an industrial solvent and coolant.
* in nuclear power plants.
* in the production of styrofoam.
* as a fire retardant.
* in many forms of cruel animal research.
* in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce
remains contaminated by this chemical.
* as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can
be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact
on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

THE HORROR MUST BE STOPPED!

Me and my brother (Ho Hum) both think you should keep it

Although you have listed its valid uses and a few problems. However, you left out some of the more hideous ones. This compound has been linked to millions of deaths around the world. Virtually any one who comes in contact with this solvent will die. It is not even in question whether the person who has been exposed will die.

Keep it and let this person forever live in fear of your code then. We all know that all is well with you.

I hope they dont want me to change mine too. :o2
