No problem! I'm glad I could help.

One side-effect of this, btw, is that if you didn't ask for a redirect and the old name gets purged, and then someone completely different takes that name by renaming their journal to it, the user tag you made will point to that journal, because it's the same name as the one you linked to before, even though it's somebody completely different.

That'd be fairly rare, though, I think.
