My search fu failed me trying to find the older threads I know we’ve had on said topic, so opening a new one…

In a recent thread (about children you have lost), someone linked to **Tokyobayer** ’s threads on her lost child-and I was shocked to the core, only then fully noticing the actual spelling, certain that her handle for all these years was **Tokyobadger**! I have no idea how I could have misread that for so long-maybe because of the fact that there is a [Japanese Badger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_badger)… [I am a Japanese aspirin? :p]

I also hate it when one user’s handle misleads me to misinterpret another’s. He’s not active anymore, but I would get **mangeorge** mixed up with **Mangetout** , even thinking for a number of years that it was **mangeogre** instead (mangy ogre…).
