Searching on “big” returned a whole bunch - “bigda” gave a nice sized sampling: BigDadDogg BigDaddy bigdaddydestro BigDaddyJ BigDaddyPete bigdaddyxthree bigdado BigDadWolf BigDanInTX bigdave BigDave327 There was also a good number starting with “wolf” including WolfDaddy which is pretty close to mine in spirit if not alphabetically. ---

The only other Doper whose username begins with ‘rtf’ is **rtftfwd** , who apparently has never posted. I’d regard [**Rufus T. Firefly**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=212574) as the Doper with the closest username to mine, though. He was briefly active as a poster during the fall of 2003, and hasn’t been heard from since. Rumors that we merged into a single poster are completely unfounded. ---

Searching for “Drum” I find 12 other users Drum God Drum the drum drumaville drumdance drumfun101 Drumgoddess drummerboy1 drummerman64 DrummerWannabe DrummingNoise drumz1 I do not know how to determine their status and post count but I have seen **Drum God** posting of late. I wonder if **Drumgoddess** is more powerful than **Drum God**. 😃 ---

There is an Alpine, which is enipla backwards. Originally, it’s the username that I wanted. What’s really weird though is other coincidences. We both live in small resort towns in the Colorado Mountains. And we both have the same somewhat obscure job working for County Government. ---

The Devil’s Whisky Bottle is my closest match (heh), but he/she has never posted. I don’t see why purging all the old names of non-posters would be bad. You might get some complaints from people who log on to search, if that is that is still the rule. ---

There’s no one else that starts with “ii” that I could see. That’s one of the reasons I picked this username- originally back in the 90s with AOL… I wanted an email address unlike anyone else’s. ---
