When reading posts very quickly, I tend to confuse doper names, especially ones with the same first letter and roughly the same length. Some of the ones I tend to mix up are (and please, I mean no offense to anyone at all, itโ€™s just the similarity of the names that gets confusing): **Coldfire/Czarcasm/Colibri/Chronos Feynn/Fenris/Freyr/Ferrous yojimbo/yojimboguy jacksen9/jackelope TV time/TVGuy/TVeblen Beeblebrox/Zaphod Beeblebrox** Anyone else mix up doper names when theyโ€™re reading quickly? ---

I knew I was missing a few. I tend to mix up **UncleBeer/UncleBill, Kal/Kat, and spooje/SPOOFE** myself. **elelle** , at first I had people ask me a time or two if I was you, but sadly Iโ€™m not! But yes, I think one could possibly even mix up **Elle/elelle/lel/lee/ell/lieu**. Oh dear! ---

**lel** , an easy way to tell **Kat** and myself apart: If the post is well written, thoughtful, with touches of humour then **Kat** wrote it. Badly written, pointless jokes and a touch of simmering bitterness? All mine, baby, all mine! Back to the OP though: Almost everyone with โ€œ **Elf** โ€ in their username.
