I hope this does not cause problems, but I think _gasp_ I’m a sock puppet. Let me splain…no it is too long, let me sum up. Several years ago, when I first started reading this board, I became a member as WeeMan, but I rarely posted due to a slow conection. After a while I got too busy with work and stopped posting. About a year later (I’m just guessing on time), I had more time and began posting again, but I had to re-register because I had forgotten my password, and changed ISPs and hence email adresses. I re-registered as WeeMan (I think it’s the same spelling). Again, time went by and I changed my life and time constraints, and once again had time to read and post to the SDMB. Once again I had changed ISP/email (I gotta stop doing that), and so I registered **again**. Now, it is possible that I am registred under 3 different names. Perhaps WeeMan, Wee Man, and WEW. I only use one obviously,but I hate to think that I have two poor sad lonely UserNames sitting out there clogging things up. How long does a registration last? If I have extra names, can they be combined (no sense wasting the posts), or should I just ask you to remove them? I didn’t know how to find out my password since I didn’t have the same email adress. I throw myself on your mercy. Please fix this if it is a problem. Your obedient and humble servant WEW ---

Best thing to do is send an e-mail to Tuba, let her fix it. [tubadiva@aol.com](mailto:tubadiva@aol.com) ---

Looks like you didn’t do much posting. WeeMan had 0 posts. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&username=WeeMan](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&username=WeeMan) Wee Man had 30 posts, ending most of a year ago [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&username=Wee%20Man](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=getinfo&username=Wee%20Man) No overlap I can see. You are a serial forget-where-you’ve been-er. ---

Overlap or not, this still needs to be resolved. I’ll alert the authorities. I’m assuming you’re gonna go with THIS screen name. ---

Sorry, I was away for a day. I know better now, so it’ll never happen again. I’ll stick with WEW. Thanks.
