I can assure you the name change is temporary; I do it as I don my Father Christmas hat and deck the halls with boughs of holly & suchlike festive jollity.

Will Insane Beard be back? Not sure - I rather fancy Deputy Seraph in the new year. Of course before IB I was (& am) Sedayne, so maybe I'll go back to that...

Don't be dismayed, according to one Mudcatter my posts are recognisable no matter what name I go by.
