Hi I know this is a silly question-
but can I use a very similar username to someone else?

So my name is hungryhorse, but could a different person be called hungryhorses?

Say if someone is called jadesmummy and I wanted to be called jademummy... or jadesmum-- would that be allowed?

You're right, Squonk.

Hello. (And it's not a silly question)

Weeeell, it's allowed but it's not exactly a good thing.

Because, obviously, it could lead to a whole lot of complication with posters being mistaken for each other (as has happened a few times, actually).

Was it just a hypothetical question, hungryhorse? Or have you spotted other hungryhorses on MN?
