What happens when there are several people in the same household registered, and/or using a lan/home network, or using the same computer? It sould be easy to tell Me(FireTiger) from him(PlanMan)as I cannot spell at all, and we have difrent opinions and writing styles. This my be an issue to others too, thought I’d share.

This gets asked a lot.  
It never hurts to post like you just did, or email TubaDiva.  
(The “official” word is that it’s unnecessary, but sometimes people have been blocked until they could “explain the situation”, and ended up attacking the mods. No point in that. Your way is much better. Unofficially, at least.)

Another related thing that comes up a lot, if you haven’t already figured it out, is how to sign off so the other used won’t post with your name.

If you have trouble with that, see this thread, and perhaps search for the others.

See my thread [Suggestion for users sharing a computer](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=48285).

The info applies to Netscape, but other browsers prolly have a similar feature.
