Lately I’ve noticed a couple of nicks very similar to mine on the boards. One of them is only one letter away from my nickname and one is kind of a shortened version of what I call myself sometimes.
As I write this, I have a wry grin on my face and a twinkle in my eye. I’m not really pissed off, but I’m not really flattered either, and here’s my thinking on it: Since coming on board in December of 2001, I have posted enough to where y’all pretty much know my persona. That is, you know the kinds of things I might say or not say in a particular post, but not everybody does. For that reason it worries me a little that something might be said by one of the new Q’s that might be misconstrued as coming from me, and I might have to answer for it even though the post count, location, name and sign-on date might be different.
Having said that, though, some of y’all know me well enough to know that I can take a “Hey, Quasi! Take a chill-pill! It ain’t nothin’ but a thang!”, so go ahead and let me know your thoughts. You know I respect them.
Well, that deflects the rumor I was going to start about you cloning yourself…
I noticed one of the names and it took a few seconds to figure out it wasn’t you. NOT what I need to deal with at my advanced age - being so easily confused anyway. So I vote neither pissed nor flattered - join me on the confused bench.
Well, Quasi, I know I’d be pretty annoyed if there were suddenly a Gorgon Leap, Morgon Reap, Sermon Keep, Gunning Jeep, Grinning Peep, Glurgy Creep, Gastro Seep, and Betty White’s Underpants.
Those other quasi-Quasi’s make me question the integrity of my personal reality construct, and you know how that’s a bitch to get back in order. I shudder to think how it must be, having to deal with it in first person.
How do you know that such people didn’t already have a ‘Quasi’ in their “internet name” before you? Like you’re the only one or something. Maybe they registered before having ever seen your nick.
There’s hundreds of Quasimodems on the net. I don’t lay claim to the name exclusively, ParentalAdvisory. I’ve used the name since I came online in 1994, but I sure can’t claim it as my own and am not trying to do so. Sorry I set you off.
My concern is what I posted originally: I don’t want anythinng attributed to me that I didn’t post. Your first and last sentences were the most helpful. The middle sentence proves you don’t know me.
