I was just glancing through the General Questions threads when I noticed a posting that appeared to be created under my member name. On closer examination I noticed that the user’s name was actually “Guy_Incognito” instead of “Guy Incognito”. Apparently this other “Guy” has been on the board since last June, so I must have missed his prior postings. Anyway, greetings “brother”!
Does anybody else on this board have a member name that closely resembles another member’s? If so, has it caused any complications or problems for you on the SDMB?
There’s an AskNott and a WotNot (I think? Some odd spelling of What, anyway), but we hardly ever seem to post in the same threads, so I don’t *think *people confuse us. Maybe they do. Maybe that’s why no one seems to remember I’m a chick, despite my frequent TMI-pushing postings about my bra size (38DDD), pregnancy, nursing and cervical fluid.
Well, when I decided to change my username to this name that I use elsewhere I checked to see if there were any others and there were a couple Wile E Coyotes, one used underscores or periods in his name, but neither had posted for a couple years.
I sometimes confuse myself with DesertDog because I also use the name DesertSongDog elsewhere.
I used to be Krebnar the Magnificent, but once happened across a thread by the erudite Carnac the Magnificent and realized I’d been scooped on the name by several years.
