Okay. On a old site I belonged to we started a SPAM thread. So people could get it out on it.

Well this started out as a Motherhen issue. So I got curious. I am being delibrately(?) crytic, as the poster/s have a reason for doing so.
Thank you Julie, for your offer.

Yes I have two accounts myself. This one is my goto account. Ulrike is for when I travel. Safer due to a lot of private information stored under Uli.
Danimal is my oldest son's account. That comp stayed with me and I have permission/ login rights to it.
Pluto will always be a planet to me.

I will answer in public to David or Dave. Under certain circumstances, I will also answer, or at least turn my head, when I hear my Facebook name.

It also drives me nuts when people change their names and avatars here. That's why I added the David S without removing the N9JFE. I will do that eventually. Really, at this point it's more a matter of laziness than thinking it hasn't been long enough for everyone to get used to it.

I was going to say something else, but I forgot what.

When I first started on Seti Classic, every computer I was crunching on had a different account. I quickly switched all of them to one account and it's the only one I've had since then.

I've had fantasies about creating a second account - one that could be evil, troll-like, nasty and acerbic beyond belief. Then I realized that those positions had all been filled.

I am guilty of that, but mostly because of my age changing so much since joining. I was like 12 or 13 when I joined and am 27 now. A lot of time has passed. I think I even posted a thread saying I was going to transition to make it a little less annoying, but I understand what you are saying for sure.

I was quoting David in Message 1593225, must have forgot to quote.

The only time I created more than one account anywhere was when I forgot my password and got no replies from anyone about getting it back.

By the time I got my old id back, I wanted to keep the new one also.

I'm sorry to burst that bubble for you Julie, but even after my 2nd generation of kids have left the nest, others will still demand your time (well they do here anyway). :-(

That is exactly what I did as well :-) It's a learning curve many of us went through.

I've had fantasies about creating a second account - one that could be evil, troll-like, nasty and acerbic beyond belief. Then I realized that those positions had all been filled.

And over at Politics there is a waiting list as long as your arm and a queue around the block!

I never did that myself with Classic (I did loose my original account because I didn't know better at the time), but sadly yes, there are a few trolls in that cesspool called Politics and most are only living there to cause friction because they have nothing better to do with their own lives (but some of us dive in there now and again to watch them sweat).

Cheers.
