Clicking on Advanced Search to review some of my old posts I typed in “enola” instead of “Enola Straight” (I used to just click on the field and my screename would just pop up…now it dosen’t ☹ ), and this new screenname poped up.

Now this is freaky. Even though **Enola Straight** has been here longer and has more posts, I am only familiar with the postings of **Enola Gay**. Also, I hate having to put bold tags around people’s names.

You don’t want to start anything with Enola Gay. When she flames you, the result is devastating.

Words of wisdom. You really don’t want to mess with me, Little Boy, or I’ll completely destroy you.

You should have posted this at eight-fifteen. That’s the time that it’s always been.

I noticed a poster named **Telperion** lately. Apparently registered in 2005, I never noticed this person before because apparently they don’t post much. But I did a double-take seeing posts by that name in threads I know I hadn’t posted in. I wonder if there’s any rule about similar usernames–although you might not always know if the name you want is similar to an existing one.

And I recently heard about \*\*JustThink \*\*(or something similar) who had a bit of a reputation, I guess. **JustThinkin** had no clue there was a similar name.

**Justhink** , which was actually a computer program generating nonsense (at least some of the time).

Ha. I seriously thought **Enola Straight** changed his/her username after having experiencing some lifestyle change. No kidding.

I don’t know how much time it took me to figure out that **asterion** and **astorian** were two different posters. I think they both live in Texas and have somewhat similar political opinions.

I also used to confuse **elfkin477** and **erie774** , but the latter’s changed his name to **Slypork**.

Seems a lot of people get **Argent Towers** and I confused, too. I was here first, dammit! 😃
