Just wondering really. I often speed read posts to gauge interest and pick up on conversational styles or similar-ish names, and blur the owners into one.

For example, a while back Molgrips and Junkyard were having a spat in their similar writing styles it totally blew my little mind, and apologies to Kimbers and Binners – I'm sure I've replied to one thinking it was the other.

All the time.

Mostly because of second/third logins...

You all look the same to me (like ink blots).

I'm hopeless at spotting people returning under other logins etc.

Everyone else seems to know who someone is just from how they present themselves and I'm 'are they? well i never'.

Well, it's pretty obvious that you are Fred

At least until I put my trousers back on.

I can't spot Fred, but can assure you I am not Fred.

At the same time, I often read one of Mr Woppit's posts and think, 'Wow. He could really be me.'

Binners / Molgrips, dunno why.

I was pretty sure Chewk was Fred. However I suspect if he was he wouldn't be given anywhere near as much leeway.

wwaswas and wysiwyg merge into one in my head, I think it's all the 'W's.

I'd spotted that too, RF90. There's a few others I can often guess the poster from the thread title as well.

Got accused of being Jamies love child once.

Also get called Percy quite a lot 😳

I actually resent Malvern Rider and sadexpunk for having names that, at first glance, I mistake for my own from time to time, especially when I am just skimming the forum.

In light of this, I would like to trademark use of the word 'Rider' with an upper case 'r', and any use of the letter 'x', especially when the name begins with an 's'.

No, because that is a good call by whoever said it. You are indeed Jamie ( without all of the gifs)

I too resent me for having that name. Physically moving away from Malvern just ramped up my ire even more. If only I'd known at the time. I really wanted 'Xamp Von Panzerbugger' but my mind was temporarily non-committal. Bah. Sorry etc...

I confuse all the forum member names beginning with 'J'. It has to be a trap.

That would be me, an accusation I stick by. You also know far too much, to not know who Jamie is, so my suspicions are raised further....as well as an acute awareness I clearly spend too much time on here.

Edit: Plus, there are too many people with Kona in their name!

What? Binners/me? I'm always contradicting him..

I'm always confusing everyone; there are about a dozen people who have distinct personalities in my mind, plus the people Ive met, then everyone else is basically the same. I'm always making an idiot of myself in arguments, and if I need to be careful I have to scroll back and double check everything.

Having met him, that image is almost but not quite completely unlike Molgrips. Actually, it's way closer to Junkyard.

.

I need to spend more time listening to Northwind, he's clearly an insightful chap.

#jambafact indeed. (-:

I'm reasonably sure that we are Fred-free these days (maybe we need one of those "x days since last incident" poster boards) but positively encourage "retuned banned" grasses.

If he genuinely does "walk amongst us" then he's managed thus far not to be a complete pain in the proverbial, which was his primary problem all along.

Please feel free to dob him in though. (-:

I confuse jambalaya and teamhurtmore because they're both pure right wing evil.

I think they're quite different, THM is half pretending and quite insightful, even if a little right of centre, whereas Jambalaya seems have been brainwashed and now just believes everyone is part of a left with anti-Semetic / Nazi conspiracy (with JC at it's centre).

Don't know about obsessed, but a lot of his posts contained a lot of humour.

Also, the architecture threads were ace.

was going to say those two as well

The thing that I really struggle with these days is the merging of the two alteregos of Davidtaylforth, I like both of them, and sometimes it's obvious which one is posting, other times he still manages to be just subtle enough that I'm not sure...I always enjoy a DTF related thread 🙂
