....wanted to (only I post under my screen name) But others may do it differently. who knows? tell you a story An impressionist took over Ken bruces show recently. No one noticed. so are who you say you are ? Is Richard Bacon who he says he is Shelagh Fogarty? Mrs Logan?-- lets assume they are usually. Heres an idea for fun. The BBC want to save money. Employ talented impressionists two men and two women could do the whole of the 5-Live output...saving? 300 grand a year at least I dont know who would be the most difficult of that crowd to take off....Gabby? easy...Shelagh? more difficult. Probably NickyTearful cos he can do voices I hope the BBC DG is reading this

you can't go around imitating real life people though can you - or the real one would be right pissed off wouldn't they and probably sue or summat.

QuintessentialOldMoo · 15/05/2011 19:07

So, I shall change name, to for example, SunnyFelight, and try to impersonate and post in the style of a well known poster, and you should try and guess both who I am trying to impersonate, and who I really am?

So, pseudonym musical chairs, in a way?

ScousyFogarty · 15/05/2011 19:07

I am operatin miss g on a tempermental computer just now but we do our best you miss the point I am suggesting a grown up family could all post on the same password...yet everyone here assumes they are taling to An individual. I said this to a senior copper once .He looked puzzled. used his brain and said yes that could happen....He said it as though it had never occured to him He was on the siege sqad....a psycholical copperoo

anyway, OP yes of course more than one person could be posting under a partic username, eg the poster has not logged out, a mate has your log in details; I'm not sure what your point is tbh

Yama · 15/05/2011 19:15

Well, if is agreed than they are all culpable for any unacceptable conduct (Sectarian posts etc).

If not, then wouldn't the person being impersonated twig? 'Threads I'm On' would give it away on this website.

TrillianAstra · 15/05/2011 19:16

Well most of the time it is one person under each name. If DP wanted to be on MN he can get his own name, it's not as if they are expensive.

On MN it is also assumed that you are a woman unless you say otherwise, because over 95% of the time that will be correct.

ScousyFogarty · 15/05/2011 19:20

t does occur to me some posters here use different styl are different people using one paes at different times. s it because they are different people using one password? Nothing wrong with it but it puts a diferent slant on me responding to them .....Youwill gather I write about Mumsnet But TWIITTER is big news now Govt showing interest. Its to dowith super injunctions. You will have read aboutit or mmaybe not.cheers
