Hi.
I was just wondering. Does it make any sense to have more than one username on the forum?
Has anyone ever done it?
Is this thread in the right place?
If not, please alert me/move thread to correct forum!

Moving thread to the Lounge, since it's more philosophical than anything else.

Not really, unless you want to distance or disassociate yourself from a previous user name.
Yes, many have. One member in particular likes to give running numbers.
Is this thread in the right place?
It is now.

OK. Thanks for helping me get it to the right place.
BTW, this refers to Reader50's post.

What do you mean by "running numbers"?

Since we’re not allowed to have threads about other members here, I’ll have to use code; but let’s imagine we have a member called CapitalofSenegal. He then makes a second user name, say CapitalofSenegal²; then another one, CapitalofSenegalʒ; then CapitalofSenegal the Fourth; then CapitalofSenegal V; etc.
A running serial number, if you will.

With this particular member, I suspect it has to do with an underdeveloped sense of humour and a somewhat unfortunate inability to distinguish numerals from ezhes.
In general, though, I guess people just think it’s fun to ‘retire’ a user name at a certain post count and then make another one …

So no one would care if I had more than one username, right? I presume it's allowed.

I've used only one, just like my grandpappy taught me. It's the only proper way of doing things.

Not that it serves a practical purpose, but I went ahead and made myself one anyway, just for the heck of it. That way, no one can get too annoyed at one account or the other because I have the two of them.

I would never have guessed. I see all of them around quite a bit. They're personalities are so different from each other. How did you manage to have all four of those accounts open at once?

Yes, he spends at least as much time as the writers on Lost keeping it all straight.
By the way, this is also Laminar.

Yeah, really. Someone has created a duplicate of my user account. Pay no attention to the Fresh-Faced Recruit of cwkmacuser
I have complained to Cold Warrior.
However, iPod Nano does belong to me.

How is it possible to have 2 user accounts with the same name?
Make no mistake-I am cwkmacuser (the older one)!
