[small brain]

I've seen a few recently, and I don't thinl they are topical name changes.

Confused

So, could people not do it?

Ok?

Have any of you considered that you're sock puppets, but you don't know it? Kinda like the random bystanders that the agents leap into in the matrix.

I have come to the conclusion that all of you are Justine's sockpuppets.

There is someone who has two names together. The first one is my rl name and I always panic when I see it in case I've posted in my proper name

Not me, Coco? Would be funny if it was as I have this problem too with another poster, particularly when others refer to her as her diminutive, which I can't read without thinking I'm being addressed.

Can I join Chaos in asking why would you namechange if you are then going to tell everyone who you were before? (genuine question, I am a bit thick)

I mean I thought you would namechange if you want to not be recognised anymore.... otherwise why not stick with your nn and avoid confusing other posters

Not sure if you mean me BrainSurgeon but I have mentioned who I used to be as I don't want people thinking someone else is me

Well you prompted me to ask the question here Badger (by the way I really liked ObviouslyOblivious, I shall miss it Sad) but I have wondered before....

I am the only SPsFanjo
But there's others with Fanjo in the name so when people are quoted they just use "Fanjo"

There was someone with the exact same name as me but with 1 added number; I was confused and sad, so now I am Horrace and temporarily Horrace with added orange and gold. Horrace is better than old NN though! Grin

There is another poster starting with stranded (strandedpolarbear) and I sometimes see people referring just to stranded....Which is never me as I always get ignored, but I do sometimes get a teeny wee bit excited.

Perhaps better change my name. Although I was here first.
