There’s nothing quite like the cognitive dissonance of encountering a user you’ve never seen who has 5,000-plus posts. Happened to me today – cheers, **Freudian Slit**! After a minute, it came over me that this was likely just another instance of a known Doper changing her name – as indeed was the case. So then, in a spasm of public-spiritedness, I decided to put together the definitive list. Here it is, in the format new name/old name. **Freudian Slit/Zoggie Hostile Dialect/fetus What Exit?/jfranchi** Bless me, that’s all I can think of – three names! Help! ---
