Yes.....I know a few who have been memebers years and openly admitt they don't post under their real names and the reasons...but as I amsure you will agree thats their business and no one else needs to know...some who use JUST use board names don't like to say their first names and again it makes no differeance for the purpose of posting...I dont tell anyone my real name..

Sammy :-)

There are people who have duplicate accounts for genealogy purposes too. eg some people keep certain branches of their tree separate so have more than one account. I think Daff has 2 and jokes that one day she'll forget who she is lol

Hi Stray, I remembered the night you joined.

By the way, my internet connection is a bit intermittent at the moment so if I don't make it on time to the Murder Mystery, can you have your bottle of ketchup to hand lol

Still don't see what you mean Sammy, your number stays the same anyway.........unless you have several accounts..............but we all think differently, so I think we will agree to differ on this one.

Anyway..................to answer the question..........yes I do get confused, but personally I always keep the kitty in whatever name I post with.

Sammy Report 13 Apr 2008 16:52

No I am not paranoid.but some people may wish to find some family members and not others!

So therefore as some kind of defence may have different names.

I am not saying it is so but just putting it out there.

No Sammy, that isn't what I meant at all.
The same people/names use many boards, what I meant was that at some time they have changed their name.

Y'know, Sammy, from the start of this thread you seem to have got hold of the wrong end of the stick...:))
There was nothing nasty meant by Red mentioning people changing their names, no underlying meaning. Just that if peeps do change their names (as is their choice), well, it leaves some of us a little lost as to who they are....ok?? :))

Sammy................I think you are getting a bit paranoid.

Why would we bother changing names to post on each board, our numbers stay the same:)
