I was just glancing through the General Questions threads when I noticed a posting that appeared to be created under my member name. On closer examination I noticed that the user’s name was actually “Guy\_Incognito” instead of “Guy Incognito”. Apparently this other “Guy” has been on the board since last June, so I must have missed his prior postings. Anyway, greetings “brother”! Does anybody else on this board have a member name that closely resembles another member’s? If so, has it caused any complications or problems for you on the SDMB? ---

Apparently, every poster that has a username starting with a capital \*\*A \*\*and ending with an **N** is my doppleganger. And \*\*silenus \*\*too, somehow. Not that I mind though. My name showing up in a “Posters You Confuse” thread is a Doper milestone. ---

There’s an **AskNott** and a **WotNot** (I think? Some odd spelling of What, anyway), but we hardly ever seem to post in the same threads, so I don’t \*think \*people confuse us. Maybe they do. Maybe that’s why no one seems to remember I’m a chick, despite my frequent TMI-pushing postings about my bra size (38DDD), pregnancy, nursing and cervical fluid. ---

I remember you’re a gal, because of your post in the ‘Your Ultimate SDMB Thread’ thread. The notion of “public nudity” leaves an indeliable impression on my malleable leetle grey cells. ---

Well, when I decided to change my username to this name that I use elsewhere I checked to see if there were any others and there were a couple **Wile E Coyotes** , one used underscores or periods in his name, but neither had posted for a couple years. I sometimes confuse myself with **DesertDog** because I also use the name DesertSongDog elsewhere. ---

I don’t know - is there a **piker** floating around? I used to be **Krebnar the Magnificent** , but once happened across a thread by the erudite **Carnac the Magnificent** and realized I’d been scooped on the name by several years. :: shakes fist at the heavens :: CAAAARRRRNNNAAAAACCCC! ---

Is a psuedo-clone kinda like a leather product made from cloned cows? I wish someone would take the username Rafaella Gabriella. Then she could be my sister. There are several usernames with the name Rufus in them. This has caused me no problems on the boards whatsoever.
