I hope they don’t mind the comparison, but I think **Diogenes the Cynic** and **DaLovinDJ** have expressed beliefs similar to mine on a variety of topics. Even some of their music and movie tastes are uncannily similar.

I’d say Sanguine Spider. She’s talked of her special needs child, and she sounds like she’s been through a lot of the same stuff I’ve been through. She’s also talked about working in an adult shop and meeting porn stars. I’ve done similar things.

And generally speaking, she seems kinda cool. And I like to think I’m kinda cool. 🆒

I haven’t found any Doper resembling me the slightest. :o\

But then, I’m fairly new. I might meet a soulmate.

I can’t say that I’ve ever felt especially similar to any other Doper except maybe my roomate and while our personalities are similar, they’re also unmistakably different.

I’ll be interested to see what others say though.

But, mostly I am just me.

For free association on any number of topics, **Lobbers-dude-iconastarion** , you know?

For silly rhyme games, **ETF-anizer**.

For righteous indignation followed up with zealous ardor, **Coldie**.

For having no idea what’s going on in a Trek thread, but who t f cares style posting, **tracer**.

When in my alterego as a British uni student, specialising in quasars, being of Indian ancestry, fond of carousing in pubs, and having a seriously killer body/face/general appearance overall, **Angua T A**.  
What was the question again?

Oh yeah… um… **Zeldar**?

**vanilla**?

**Seige**?

**Wesley the Wild Weasel**?

**Tom Bombadil**?

I’d have to say **Shirley Ujest**.  
I get her. She’s brilliant **and** funny and has mastered sarcasm. 😃

Hmmm. **Philster** and I usually are on the same page: At least with handy stuff.  
I find a certain kinship to the **Teachers** on the boards.  
And **Libertarian** and I share a mutual affection for Chess.  
**Maureen, Tanookie, and Auntie Em** lay a certain kinship to my feminine or yang side. Being a man I think knowing your feminine side is an asset.

**CalMeacham** and I seem to have read a lot of the same books, seen a lot of the same movies, and share a lot of the same interests. I don’t know anything about his politics, tho… (I’m moderately conservative).

**BrotherCadafel** - I’ll second your notion about **Cal**. I really enjoy his posts…and I really enjoyed his book.

I’d love to get it signed 🙂 [sup]hint, hint[/sup]
