I do believe that there is a **igotit** somewhere around here… Does that count? ---

I’m the poster formerly known as Scarlet\>Fire. I went ahead and changed it last weekend. It was just too long, plus it was a bit too close to several other names… ---

Um…I can’t think of any (but I could be wrong). I think **Corvus** and I are the only pair of posters that make up a whole animal. Which leads me to **Corvus, corvidae** and **Corixidae** (but I don’t tend to confuse them - shame on me if I did). ---

There’s an **AnnaLucretia** hanging about…she has less than a hundred posts. I wondered when I first noticed her if she wanted **Lucretia** , and picked the longer name as a second choice. ---

I felt sorta dumb when I changed my name from “Magickly” to “Magickly Delicious,” then saw that there’s somebody here who predates me by quite a bit and goes by “Lucki Chaarms.” ---

**Tsunami** is the person with the closest sounding name to mine. Its the Tsu combo which does it. ---

I do a double take on Wabbit, which is one of the nicks I used to use on IRC when I didn’t feel like being Wikkit. Same for any time anyone says anything about Ben, no matter which Ben it is. I also always notice Kricket, mostly because I wish it was Krikkit. There’s also a Wonko (the Sane?) that always makes me smile, but isn’t similar in the strictest sense. I think there’s at least two Zaphod Beeblebrox descendants. I also tend to confuse Scylla and Fenris, but that’s just because there was a thread claiming that they were the same person, which I beleived for whatever reason. Other than UncleBeer, most of the mods seem to have fairly distinct nicks, which is a good thing. I kind of wonder what would happen if someone started posting as Arnold Winkelfried or manhatan or Lynn Bodini. ---

I’ve always thought that a funny UN would be CrankyAsCrankyAsAnOldMan. Although I doubt she’d find it funny. …or the mods. ---
