There are certain posters here that I tend to pair together for some reason. Sometimes, the reason has to do with the fact that they have similar styles (e.g. **Polycarp ** and Left Hand of Dorkness), at other times because they live in the same place (e.g. ruadh and jjimm). Yet other times, the twinning seems irrational, but who knows at some subliminal level it might make sense (e.g. guinastasia and mockingbird).
Note that this is not the same thing as *confusing * two posters, as one might do with, say, **ruadh ** and rjung, just because they have 5 letters and contain the letters “r” and “u”.
Oh dear, I’m sure poor ruadh wouldn’t want to be twinned with me. I suppose there are certain similarities - both expatriates, both live in the same city within a mile of each other, post on the same boards, but the similarities end there, I think. Our political views are rather different, and she’s an attractive young lady whereas I am… not.
I get SHAKES and START muddled up, as well as spooje and SPOOFE, for obvious reasons.
I get Sublight and Sunspace mixed up, enough so that when I saw Sublight talking about who he was voting for in the upcoming US elections, I thought “Wait a second, isn’t he Canadian?” No, dumbass, that’s Sunspace.
Seems the Great Bodini is a commonly mistaken moniker. That puzzles me, since I have never misread her name.
Paired Dopers? Hmm, now that I think about it, OpalCat and Guinastasia. Not sure why that is, but it’s as though I’m using the same neuron to remember/identify both of them.
