You see, here’s how it all happened.
Back when I was a way newbie and just found the board, I had an eight year old mac with phone line access.(I had registered as elbows, but can’t remember what my email was)
Then, in a doomed effort to lure me from the mac platform, my SO went out and got a pc with colour printer and scanner and high speed cable access.
And it worked, kind of. We left my mac hooked through the phone line. So I began to use the pc to access the board because it was just so much faster. Well, I couldn’t access because I was on a different machine with a different email account, I didn’t know how to change it and I wanted in bad.So I reregistered, on his pc, using his email address (I think it might be Benthompson99 something) and registering as elbows3.
I was such a newbie I didn’t know I could change it.
Well the lure didn’t take in the end, I am happy to have a new ibook networked so we can both enjoy high speed cable access. I am also happy that I gained enough savy to figure out how to change my profile to accomodate the change in access without loosing my handle.
Now were I only carrying around the guilt of knowing I am also registered under another name and an old email account, well, quite honestly, I might never have fessed up. But the plot has thickened.
I have long resisted outright reccomending this site as one my SO should visit, that way, it’s my own little paradise. Well, of course he heard me talking about it, and after a while he logged on. And when I read over his shoulders I saw that he could access also under my handle on his pc. (I used it only briefly but I’m sure I did use it to post).
Well, that’s my story, it’s long and sad, convoluted and confusing, fraught with deceit and bad intentions but it’s mine and I can only vouch for it’s integrity.
Would you please, oh great ones of tech know how, please go in and delete the original elbows, and his access ( hey, he can log in and get his own identity if he has something to say). He’s a devious bastard and wasn’t especially upset to realise he would be posting as elbows3. For obvious reasons I don’t want this to happen.
More importantly I really liked the elbows without the 3 and would love to return to it if only it were possible.
I am willing to make the required sacrifices before whatever images you might suggest. If a goat needs to die, so be it.
I will stop here, but not before thanking you in advance for your kind help in this delicate matter. I, of course, bow before your superior knowledge in all things. I am eternally grateful.
