**Heart of Dorkness** and **Left Hand of Dorkness**. I’ve been on this board 7 years, but it is only in the last two months that I’ve finally figured out what part of the username to pay attention to.

Glad I don’t trip you up. **BobT** does all the time, and you do occasionally.

It doesn’t help that I often see posts that were actually written by me but feel like they were written by a different person…

**mhendo** and the former **MGibson** (now **Odesio** ). Years ago I used to have frequent conflicts with **MGibson** , so when **mhendo** very kindly showed me round the Mission District in 2010 I was initially somewhat confused…

That’s silly. I’m pretty sure **Lust4Life** is British so the accent should give it away…

Well, that’s understandable - both are excellent, intelligent, articulate, wonderful posters who are a real asset to this site. 🙂

Oh, modest! I forgot modest!

Lobohan and myself. I scroll through a thread, think I see someone quoting me and bashing my behind thinking, “Who the bleep is this craphead and when did I write tha-- oh, that’s LOBOHAN!” 😃

But I like lobohan’s posts when he/she gets into it on a subject. Hats off! 🙂

Thanks Leaffan and Cat Whisperer. I thought my lame joke was going to be wasted 🙂
