When two or more are using the same computer, remember that each of you should log out before the other logs on, to avoid posting under the wrong name. To do so, click on the link that says “log out” on the lower right part of the SDMB home page, [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/)
