I have a psuedo-clone on the SDMB!

There at least used to be a Erika which drove me bonkers. (At the time I recall seeing her, I didn’t post much so I doubt that others confused us.) But not only do Erika and Eureka look much too much alike, the similarity of the words is where I got my nickname (and screen name).

There’s a Dag Otto and I think there’s an OttoErotic as well.

Glad I’m the only rolandgunslinger here :smiley:

But not the only Roland. You and I both have a reasonable claim on that particular moniker, but that accursed Deschain outdoes both of us combined.

To that end, I believe a conspiracy is in order. With your gunslinging, and my…um…impersonation of a musician nobody likes anymore, together we can surely defeat Mssr. Deschain and force him, at gun- or guitar-point (hey, I sharpen mine; doesn’t everybody?) into a name change.

After that, of course, we’ll have to turn upon each other. 'Tis a battle I’m sure our fellow Dopers will await with bated breath.

Sorry, Zebra - I have used this name for many years before coming here and have felt bad since I first saw your name. Took so long to apologize for the coincidence because I am, in fact, avoiding you…

As for my choices, the all-caps S kids confuse me to no end. In my mind atleast, SHAKES and START are mutually exclusive posters.

Yes, but your nobility clearly distinguishes you from the other. What the heck is an “Ashtar” anyway?

There is, however, a Gunslinger. :wink:

Oh my God! Those two posters have similar user names!
OH MY GOD!!! That dog has a puffy tail! Here, puff! Here, puff…

I lurked for a long time (over a year) before I finally registered, and I didn’t remember seeing any users with names too similar to mine, so I thought it was safe.

Then later I startred noticing posts by [url=http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?userid=22316]Wearia[/ur]. Apparently I joined only five days after him/her. But they’re a more prolific poster (1,154 posts to my 348).

Gah! Sorry, fixed link: Wearia.

And don’t forget Ottto.

People used to confuse me with jarbabyj. Hell, I used to confuse myself with jarbabyj. I’d see a posting by her and think, “That doesn’t look familiar…when did I post that?” Of course, she was on here long before I was.

I don’t know if people confuse me with JayElle, I hope not. She’s very lovely but we’re very different.

Seeing someone named “Kaitlyn” made me do a double-take the first time. We both even seem to enjoy comic books. But it’s not a problem because I post once every seven years and she is much more prolific.

:: Giant D’oh! ::

For ages I have had your username tickling at the back of my mind. It never clicked until then!
So, do you have a kangaroo? :wink:

Could you find a rhinoceros for me? We’d be so happy!

I always do a double-take whenever I see Happy Scrappy Hero Pup’s posted.

I just see Happy and think when the hell did I post that??

Hey! Waitaminute! mobo85 lives in Bloomingdale and I live in Bloomington. I demand that you change the name of your town!

:wink:

Personally, I don’t see what the problem is.

That’s only because my good friend Busta Chee Chee of Rancor hasn’t joined yet. :smiley:

Yeah, but you better keep your eyes open for that Roland Deschain guy! :eek:

Flymaster made a note about our similar usernames once, either on this board or in chat.
