I would really appreciate being whitelisted. It's in place to prevent bots, spammers, and scammers. I'm none of the above and have a previous account that I no longer wish to be associated with. Going through this process a second time is not enjoyable.
Is anybody curious as to whom Lab_Rat's previous username was, one he has great reason for distancing himself from?
Curious? Sure, but this is the Internet where anonymity is the user's prerogative - not to mention one of the tenets behind Bitcoin.
