If you tell me which of the usernames you want to have and I associate your SSO login (I will explain "SSO" in a moment) with that Ubuntu Forums user, when you sign in via SSO you will be associated...

I note that you actually make 5 posts up to a week after the user name had been changed (not merged, as we do not do that).
