This concerns me too, I'd appreciate knowing reasons for this change. I can
understand confusing a lego.com address with an official post, and that
could be a major factor, but right now I think that the nature of posts from
employees and their sig generally indicate whether a post is speaking for
the company officially or not.

I think you go to http://www.lugnet.com/news/ and follow the posting setup
for a totally new address - ie, creating a new account and having it
approved again. That's how I've changed addresses on Lugnet before.

I think that the community should be composed of both fans and employees who
are fans and shouldn't be under such regulations, except for a very good
reason. If employees can clarify the nature of their post (official v.
unofficial casual posts) without having to change accounts, or if there is
an easier way to change posting addresses, that would be great.
