You have a recognizable name, are easy on the eyes, and have an unusual sexual identity. It makes you memorable. I, on the other hand, screw up my posts in wierd and unusual ways. ---

So far two people in this thread have expressed recognition of whoeverthehell MeanOldLady is, so I’m just gonna assume this means I’m the most popular person on the internet. ---

I am famous amongst my Couch to 5K peeps, and relatively unknown to the rest of the SDMB, I think. ---

I am not blowing smoke up your ass when I say I recognize your name and posting style. Remember those damned crows. I hope someone “took care of them” by now? I like my women feisty and 100% female. The ‘Old’ issue isn’t a plus, but lets face it, none of us are getting any younger. Lots of people have told me that I have a distinctive writing style even if that is an insult and I think you do to so it is memorable. ---

Once upon a time I was a power poster, and ran with the “in crowd” (_snerk_) and moved cross country for a Doper, and joined the BAD’s, and went to SLODope and more than one NYCDope… but I stopped coming round here after the Winter of our Missed Content. I’ve been reading much more the past 6 months or so but rarely post. I feel kinda like when you go back to your elementary school as an adult and you don’t know any of the teachers or anything. So many new people that aren’t new anymore but are new to me! I don’t think there’s a name in this thread that I don’t recognize, even you, **CateAyo** , who I can’t ascribe anything to but we share a first name… so I remember seeing your name. ---

I think more than 100 people recognize my name on the dope. That’s probably more infamy than fame though. ---

Now that you have posted your picture, you won’t have the “lack of recognition” problem anymore. I expect your popularity to increase by at least one or two points :D. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > On the other hand, I don’t seem to ever get name-checked in the threads where people discuss user names. That’s not quite true. I seem to recall you were singled out for specific attention in post #8 [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=542268), like so: > [@](#): > > You know who’s on my ignore list? **El\_Kabong**. He never says anything remotely pertinent or useful. (The fact that the author of this post is none other than **El\_Kabong** himself does nothing to invalidate my claim.) My problem is, do I agree with you for the sake of harmony, or do I disagree and risk starting an argument. Thanks for leaving me on the horns of a terrible dilemma. For that reason alone, your name is now forever etched on the walls of the caverns of my brain. ---

I’ve been here on and off for about 9 years, but I don’t think anyone could tell you anything about me, or even remember who I am. I’m just not that controversial. ---

I tend to keep a low profile so I doubt there are many who recognize me, and those that do probably don’t have much of an opinion, maybe slightly negative if at all. ---
