Well, not quite. They are paxilllin (three L) and I am paxillin (two L). I get confused enough as it is without seeing myself double. Are there any rules about that?

Hallo Pax,
Sorry for the delay!
We did have a spate at one point - we've not had this problem for a while though. It doesn't look the poster will be back, but we've zapped the post now and if you've any other problems at all, please do let us know

They actually de-registered before we could hit the ban button, PanPanPanPing

We've actually no evidence of foul play, tbh pax - though we do appreciate it's an odd coincidence and must feel a wee bit disconcerting!

Hi, CantSleep,
We've just dropped you another mail, just to let you know. We replied to your report earlier this week but maybe has dropped into spam or is on an old email address or something? Anyway - just wanted to alert you to the emails.
Generally speaking though, if you find someone has picked a very similar name to yours we'd say it's worth reporting to us in the first instance, just so we can have a look behind the scenes and check that the namechange is just a coincidence and not someone trying to cause trouble or be goady somehow.
If that's not the case we usually advise folk to drop their name twin a line via PM and just ask politely if they wouldn't mind changing to save confusion. That's usually got a positive response, so worth a go, but do report to us first so we can check the situation out for you.
