OK, last time this was submitted it recieved some flack from a Bureaucrat, regarding prior history of renames. For full transparency, I've only ever had one rename and one usurpation done. One was an emergency to the secondary account, Daniel-Bryant (talk · contribs) (as Essjay had strong evidence to suggest my secondary account had been comprimised, per checkuser), and the other was to usurp the "Daniel" account so I could change my main account (Daniel.Bryant) to it at a later date. The reason I usurped "Daniel" with a non-primary account was that Essjay suggested to me that changing my username one or two weeks before an RfA would be extremely disruptive to the discussion process at RfA. Hence, I decided I'd wait till after my RfA passed to come back and change my main account to "Daniel".
Someone has said to me that the previous interrogation about my renaming past was to determine if I was a "serial username changer" or similar, as the bureaucrats in general have shown an indifference to people who fall in this bracket (I know a couple, but won't name them), and who don't really focus on the main goal of the encyclopedia but rather pretend Misplaced Pages is a giant MMORPG or similar. I think my 23,000 edits and the fact that I recently had a successful RfA should deal with any doubts, and given the fact that I have never really changed my name with intent on my main account or any other (see the usurpation explanation above), I really can't see why this would be an issue.
