All the name changes get a little hard to keep track of, and it becomes rather annoying after a while trying to figure out why you’ve never before noticed the person with 5,000+ posts.

Crap! Accidentally pasted an old clipboard post. Although the spelling of my name didn’t change, I renounced my French citizenship and recently became Swiss, so the pronunciation changed from fet-_WAH_ to fet-oo-_ZHAY_. > [@Dung Beetle and Missy2U](#): > > Dinsdale I’ve never heard of this poster and a search turns up nothing. Can someone tell me about him/her, please? I think I may know this person because I was involved in an inside joke where a surname was mutilated to Dinsdale a few years back. ---

Does **Fenris** still post here? It seems like forever since I last saw a post from him. The first thread I read here was one of his and I’ve been hooked ever since. ---

> [@Tinkertoy](#): > > Does **Fenris** still post here? It seems like forever since I last saw a post from him. The first thread I read here was one of his and I’ve been hooked ever since. Not sure if you realize this, but it’s actually very easy to find out when someone last posted. Go to the search screen, type in their username, and search for all posts. The first post in the list will be their most recent post. **Fenris** made his [most recent contribution](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7257197&postcount=31) four days ago, on April 2. ---

> [@fetus](#): > > I’ve never heard of this poster and a search turns up nothing. Can someone tell me about him/her, please? I think I may know this person because I was involved in an inside joke where a surname was mutilated to Dinsdale a few years back. I don’t recall that Dinsdale changed his name; I believe he left in the pay-to-post conversion. I always used to admire his parenting skills. To hear him tell it, he had a batch of great kids. ---

> [@fetus](#): > > I think I may know this person because I was involved in an inside joke where a surname was mutilated to Dinsdale a few years back. More likely it’s a Monty Python reference. _He was a gentleman, Dinsdale, and what’s more he knew how to treat a female impersonator._ ---

> [@sinjin](#): > > Anthracite. Was there some sort of name change I missed? It seems there is precious little fossil fuel in the Dope’s history… I’m here but not nearly as much. You can find me writing Staff Reports and responding to queries on those more than posting I think. ---
