I find that I tend to notice their threads a little more. I give them a slight visual priority over other threads on the page. It’s because for a split second I see the ‘L’ and think “Hey, there’s one of my posts” and in the second split second it dawns that it’s not me it’s Liberal, or Lionne or Lobstermonster
But by that time the thread has got my attention. And I sometimes open it.
Do you find this to be the case about your own dopername?
I don’t post enough to think that any “T” poster might be me, but I do tend to notice the Pratchett-themed names (like “Lobsang”) and feel a certain affinity with them.
