Hello. I have just signed up again after a few year hiatus. I forgot my old user name, so I started another. Glad to be back, glad to share a forum with you well-facted and logical dopers!

Hi. You might want to check with an administrator (eg. Tubadiva) regarding signing up under another username; she can set you straight.

But yeah, hi.

Welcome back, **bobot**. You’re not supposed to have more than one account, though since you don’t recall the name of your old account, I’m not sure how we’ll go about dealing with this. Please contact an admin ( **TubaDiva** or **Marley23** , to name two) to see if they can help you out on this.

Again, welcome back – hope you stick around this time.

Wow, my first day back, and I’m trouble right away. 😉 I didn’t realize the new account was a violation. I’ll contact mods to straighten this out. The old one was bobo t or maybe beo469.

Welcome, welcome! Unfortunately, I can’t offer you any ice cream, because it escaped last night. (It was an unusually-vigorous wasabi-mint cross.) Would you like a cookie?
