I made the same mistake when I first signed up with Mobleread. I had no idea whether I'd be back or not and wasn't clear if membership was required. I was in a hurry and all the names I tried were taken or, repeatedly, they were too short: at that time Mobileread required 6 character long names. I kept hitting that barrier over and over until, in frustration, I decided I'd give them what they wanted and move on. Now I'm stuck with it.
I was surprised how hard it was when my dog died last summer. I eventually found another. My avatar shows him the day he came home. At eight weeks and two days the little fellow looks confused. I was too. My first dog was four years old when I got him from the rescue people. Kobe is my first experience with a puppy. I'm keeping him regardless what anyone thinks of me. Don't mean for that to sound hostile, but I'm keeping the avatar for the same silly reason.
