Question about rename tokens on LJ

When you rename on LJ it comes with the option to include a 'redirect' or not. So:

- If you rename WITH the redirect, if someone types my old username in it redirects to the new username; and where my old username is used in someone else's LJ entry, it appears as the new username; all links (eg username.livejournal.com/473840.html) redirects to newusername.livejournal.com/473840.html.

- If you rename WITHOUT the redirect, it does none of the above but still maintains your flist; defriends everyone with the old name and refriends everyone with the new name?


Is the above correct Y/N?
