A) I’m flattered to be confused with the **Esprix** and **Ferrous**! B) I often do a doubletake when I see one of **fenrir** ’s posts. I think…“I don’t remember posting that!?”. If he ever capitalizes the first letter of his name, I’m in trouble… C) I always confuse **Thinksnow** with **Thinksnow**. (no, that’s not a typo) No, really: Sometimes I’ll read it as **Thinks Now** and other times I’ll read it as **Think Snow**. And in at least one thread I wondered why **Think Snow** was defending so many of **Thinks Now** ’s positions and wondered if they were Socks. Yes. Getting some sleep _did_ help clear that up. But I still do it from time to time. ---

I get confoozled when scanning a thread **Gadarene** has posted to…like a couple of others have mentioned, I go “Whaa…I don’t remember posting to this thread…wait, that’s not me!” It’s the G\_\_\_\_\_e with the d/b in the middle, gets me every time. ---

I don’t confuse **CrankyAsAnOldMan** and **Crunchy Frog** , but sometimes when it is late and my contacts are foggy and I’m reading down the list, I _think_ I see a poster named **CrunchyAsAnOldFrog** , which disturbs me greatly. ---

I’m constantly mistaking myself for **Francesca**. Which is odd, since she’s a midget. And Scottish. Maybe it’s just because of my burning desire to copulate with **Alex B**. ---

I’ve had several of y’alls names buzzing in my head for days. Last night, I kept thinking, “of all the Quaddrops, he’s the _Mercotanniest_.” Don’t ask me why. I get confused when I see ell’s posts, or elelle, and fear I’ve changed my username in my sleep. > [@](#): > > I can confuse myself–I’ve been known to read Spoonbender’s posts, and think, “I don’t remember posting this…” To make matters, worse, someone’s sig says they can bend minds with a spoon, so I’ve got three people to keep straight. I really do, though, have a lot of trouble keeping Mr. Cynical and Manservant Hecubus straight. They are so similar! 😃 ---

For quite a long time I thought Oncle Biere was the same individual as Uncle Beer, somehow thinking he had the ability to make his screen name display in other languages. Finally it occurred to me to wonder how I would go about putting my username in as EinJager or AVenator something, and quickly realized this simply could not be. ---

I don’t know if it’s confusion, but whenever I see **Spiny Norman** I just naturally think of **Dinsdale**. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dopers-you-get-confused/92126.md?page=1)
