We have added a new paragraph to the membership agreement . . . in case you haven’t been over there to read it lately (click the “register” line in the upper right hand corner to read in its entirety), here’s the addition:

> [@](#):
>
> Only one screen name is permitted per user. If you wish to change screen names please notify the webmaster and we will deactivate your old screen name. Use of multiple screen names is grounds for revocation of your right to post under ANY screen name. We reserve the right to refuse postings from screen names we find objectionable.

This will not affect the great majority of our forum members . . . mostly it will affect those suffering from MUIDAP.

Please don’t hesitate to holler up if you have any questions about this or any other membership policies we have in force.

Well then Tuba, please dump my “LauraRae” s/n. But tell me–will you have a way to know if someone is pulling the old switcheroo? Or is it detective work?

## I s’pose that means to more NitWatch, et al. Oh, darn. I mean, darn. Really. I’m pained.

I used to think the world was against me. Now I know better: Some of the smaller countries are neutral.

We’re not omnipotent, we just play it on tv. 🙂

Chances are when we do find cases, it’ll be out of sheer luck and utter stupidity.

I’ll leave it to the Teeming Millions to figure out where each of those might be. 🙂
