Well, naming yourself after a notorious paediphile organisation {the North American Man-Boy Love Association} _does_ seem a little on the inflammatory side. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > And _that_ is why one should, when on a work computer, always mouse over a link before clicking on it. of course it would also be nice if the poster included a warning “not work safe” or even, as another poster did, spell out what the intials stand for. ---

Funny, I clicked on the link, thinking it was going to lead to the guy’s profile, or first post, or something. I noticed the preview in the bottom of the browser as I was clicking, and I did an immediate alt + F4. Thing is, the window _opened_ and the banner said the name of the organization. The funny part is, the computer here at work is set to lock out Chick tracts, but it lets that through? ---

Funny, to me, what others are seeing as an L looks like an I. Since all the other letters (except for the “b”) are capitals, I figured the “b” was a mistake – making the screenname “Nambia,” as in the African region. Shows you how naive **I** am. Or maybe y’all are just perverts. 😃 ---

On a quasi tangent, did that Usama guy who was preempyively pitted ever post anything? ---

Well, a search doesn’t show up anything other than the engine thinks that “Hava Nagila” is a match. ---

Problem is, if it is supposed to represent “that African region”–it’s mis-spelled. Namibia is a country in Africa. Of course, I can think of at least two posters who flopped the “ie” combos in their names when they figured out that they had signed up using the wrong one, so perhaps that’s true of this poster as well. I’m not betting on it though. ---

He’s vaporized. He’s been “disappeared”. He is an unperson. In the eyes of the SDMB, he never existed. ---

There has never been a poster named **NAMblA**. We have always been at war with Eurasia. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/welcome-to-our-newest-member-nambla/303758.md?page=2)
