Stop changing your names, it’s confusing the hell out of me!

:::narrowing my eyes:::

And you know who you are, too.

Seriously. Manservant Hecubus, who were you? The rest of yez, who are you now? You do this just to torment me, don’t you? Or to torment Sue, and I’m just bonus points? Stop the madness.

Yeah!

Fine, change your name, if that’s what you want. But don’t expect me to know who the hell you are. The least you can do is to include a “The poster formerly known as…” in your sig. Dammit.

Well, crap-a-doodle-doo.

First I screw up my grammar, then I screw up my coding. This is not going to be a good day. I blame it on the confusion caused by people changing their usernames. See what you made me do?

But, **Sue** , I was thinking about adding some more o’s to my screen name. Are you saying that I shouldn’t?

I used to be known as “Coldfire”. But, I got drunk one night, and me and SPOOFE traded screen names… so now SPOOFE is “Coldfire” and I’m him.

There used to be “spritle” (little “s”) who became “Holden MacRoyne”. Not to be confused with “holdenmagroin”. Now there’s “Spritle” (big “S”). Who the Hell is this?

Never mind. I did a “search and compare” to get my facts straight before I posted.

Spritle used to be Holden MacRoyne who used to be spritle. O.K. that’s Jake.

And soda becoming Soda, no hu-hu there.

But I am me and I’ve always been me. I am a paragon of vertue. I am Napoleon. Josephine, I’ll be home in three days. Don’t bathe…

Yep. Weirded me out for a minute when **Manservant Hecubus** showed up on my ICQ list one day. Took me a minute to figure out who it was.

I’ve been using “Dragwyr” for as long as I’ve been online (10 years +). If I were to change now, I’d probably short circuit something in my brain.

In that case, I love you SPOOFE!!! You’re so dreamy!

Say, that reminds me. I need to be changing my name. I need to consolidate my usernames across the 'net, and I will begin here.

For the record, I am now **Connor**. I will soon be **Munch**.

I’ve been using **ts** for years and years, it has nothing to do with message boards, so I don’t expect I would change it.

If I did though, I’ve got my replacement name all lined up and I’m showing it here to lay claim: **TheThreadPirateRoberts**.

I was wondering about **Spritle** , though, glad that is cleared up.

I figured out:

Mr C = Manservant  
Democritus = Demo  
spritle = Holden = Spritle

There’s still a few more that I haven’t figured out.

I don’t think capitalizing (or adding more Os) is hard to figure out (or even really noticable).

I had a dream about this last night…I dreamt that people kept changing their names just to irritate me, just with little changes though. Gravity became GravityBites, for example.

Feh.
