How do I log off my user name on this site? If you have no idea what im talking about, heres a scinario for you:  
i have been replying to posts on SD, which you should know, requires me to sign in. My brother is also a SDer, but doesn’t agree with me on anything so has a seperate screenname than I do. He wants to get on Straight Dope and reply to some things but I cant sign off. How do I sign off? 😕

Technical questions about this message board belong in ATMB, so I’ll move this.
