Some Dopers whose tags I need a score-card to tell apart: **bibliophage** and **bibliophile**. **UncleBill** and **UncleBeer**. **asterion** and **astorian**. I would probably have trouble telling **Daniel** from **Danimal** if I didn’t happen to _be_ **Danimal.** Lucky me. Anybody else have trouble telling two Dopers’ tags apart? ---

I sometimes see a post from Kal and wonder “When did I post that?” Does that count? ---

Ooh, another episode of doper mixups! I get so very many mixed up… **Super Gnat** and **Soup\_du\_jour** , **Lissa** and **Lissla Lissar** (and sometimes also **Lsura** ), **Kal** and **Kat** , and I know there’s many more. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zyada \* > And then there’s **Kaf** , just to make things interesting. Oh, yes. I spent a few days wondering “Is that other person that I confuse with myself “Kal” or “Kaf”?” before realizing it was _both_!! I always confuse **Kal** and **Kaf** and myself. ---

I have often wondered why it sometimes says “moderator” under **UncleBeer** and sometimes not. I think I’ve been confusing him with **UncleBill**. Weird. ---

I may be mistaken, and this actually may be ONE poster, but I think I have seen both **symbalene** and **synchrolycene** (neither one of which I probably spelled correctly.) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dopers-you-get-mixed-up-with-other-dopers/167458.md?page=2)
