Should I Bother?

I'm thinking of changing my LJ username. On DeadJournal I'm "Atratus", but here atratus is taken and even though the account has been inactive for 177 weeks, LJ won't close inactive accounts, nor will they reissue names from closed, suspended or deleted accounts. Once a name is gone, it's gone for good. So I can't ever get "Atratus" for LJ, but I'm less and less fond of using "mbarrick". I'm thinking maybe "Michael_Atratus" or maybe just "_Atratus"
