Default Pokertracker users: Do you change your screen names periodically?

I've been playing for a while, but just started using pokertracker. This got me to thinking: Do most of you PT users change your online usernames (to remain more anonymous) when allowed or do you not bother doing this?

Obviously a fishy player doesn't want to be on everyone's buddy list or database. But if you're playing reasonably well you might not care if other players know your stats from the get-go.

I suspect it really doesn't matter much since I think on most sites you can't change your screen name very frequently.

I choose a different screen name for each site. I figure if I run into someone I've played against before, I might as well make them work a bit to figure out my style. I don't know if it's had a positive affect, but seems to make sense to me. I've been at Party for a while now, and I've improved a great deal over the last several monthes, so I hope I do run into players who played against me when I was clueless. If they have stats on me from a session in May, they would be totally irrelevant now, and possibly work in my favor. I've played exclusively at party until very recently, and now that I play reasonably well I think anonimity (is that spelled right?) is better.

Party allows a change every 6 months.

I change my screen name when this time elapses for 2 reasons.
1) I don't want my fish to become wise to my following them.
2) I don't want other PT players to have a large hand history db on me.

Party lets you do it, so might as well use it to your advantage. Every little bit helps.

I use a lot of different screen names but I don't know how much of a difference it makes as I bonus whore a lot. It can't hurt though and it's fun to pretend you're a woman, er, uh, use different screen names. BTW, anonymity.

Yes I do

PS. Fishy players, by the very definition don't worry about who they play against.

Do you prefer respect to money? If they misread you, they lose on average, and you gain.
