If you (still) feel the need to discuss Moldies, please do it here so folks can hide this if they want to.

northernlurker -- can you remember what it was you wanted to respond to urgently? REally, really want to know ...

someone even remebers 3andnomore....oh wow...I am blown away...I mean it....
psssstt...have we had a fall out, is that why you remember...I mean, I know I seem to have a cunning ability to tick people off....only time I tend to be noticed, lol....

I like my name and it always reminds me of how I came to mumsnet - was lurking for ages then saw something I wanted to respond to urgently so picked a name quickly - 'lurker' because I intended to go back to lurking - ha ha! And the Northern bit because I couldn't abide anyone thinking I was one of those southern wussy mumsnetters!

Anyway I got a warm welcome so I became addicted hung around. If I namechanged permanently it just wouldn't feel like me iyswim? That matters more to me than what people think of the name tbh - I have some 'friends' here - on my postnatal thread mainly abnd I know they would recognise me under any name - but it wouldn't feel like me or the mumsnet me iyswim?

I must go soon, this dual persona and talking about yourself in the third person cannot be good for my mental health.

Please all go and answer my Style and veauty dilemma so i can leave!

See, I KNEW IT!!!!!!!

i remember smileyspeople too. and lavendesblue because i like the song

it's quite interesting how people react differently to different names...
when I started on things like chat boards and forums, I experimented a bit with names...and in the beginning I tried out several different names on the very same chatboard, posted in the same style and all that, but to some names (very simple, and not agressive names) people instantly reacted really agressive towards me, and with other names people would be more welcoming and stuff.....it was quite surreal...

talking about names...I just changed back to my non-christmas name, btw....although, that one is still newish aswell....for teh longest time I was 3andnomore, lol...but got so bored with it....

lou reckon it'll be after wine o clock, that maternal witching hour of 4pm, the countdown to bedtime, the stress of cranky little children, bored and hungry...
That's ruckus time...

I feel all warm and snuggly that SmileysPeople is remembered, and releived no one can remember anything I said.

I'm not off just yet, I've just remembered an inporatnt question I need answering in Style and Beauty, then I'll go. This is where MN excells.

I think you make some excellent points there, Colbeck, particularly about paying attention to what's said, rather than who's said it.

The only downfall is that if you know who's said something, you know if it's said with humour/experience of subject matter/anger/what have you, so you can read between the lines a bit. But an interesting idea to ponder though.

oh, and smileyspeople was posting when I first joined MN, but I stuck to AN mostly in them days as I was too scared of all the regulars

I remember smileyspeople....or at least I think I do, lol

pmsl NL at gran's cake monster

jujumaman, i'm not sure I like your inference that wanting to be part of something on here means one has wonky priorities

My priorities are straight as a rule I'll have you know....to MN as much as possible and neglect my children, house and RL mates

actually, that pesky RL interfered again just then in the form of hungry children.....what next, cleaning them and their clothes

Do you???

I am strangely pleased!

But as I said she wasn't a poplular girl

ALTHOUGH much of what I said years ago has been proved true through Moldiegate

I am not around alot of the time, I keep leaving and then just drop by again occasionally with a new name so I'm sure you won't know me.

lately I've been Annthecat, lavendersbluedillydilly and Communion.

My original and most well incarnation was a couple of years ago as SmileysPeople, who lasted a few months but was not a popular girl with mnay of the now Moldies, strangly. But I wouldn't expect anyone to remember.

I'm off again soon, hopefully today, as too much time is being devoted.

Sahll I post in Flouncers corner??I've never done that!!!

nah, I'm not flouncing, just doing other stuff, I'll be back.

Wow...nearly 100 pages...holy cow, lol!
