[#7833392]

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).

Very good 😆

Curiously, Rorschach tests always look like murdered prostitutes to me...

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

If you're the only person that can't spot Fred, then there's a very good chance that you [i]are[/i] Fred

I'm often mistaken for binners.

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.'

There's only one poster that I recognise just by his thread titles. They are [i]always[/i] about computer games. I have a little chuckle to myself whenever I spot one 😀

I'm [s]Spartacus [/s] [i]Fred[/i]

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.

I'm useless. Can't spot Fred, don't really pay enough attention to the drivel to recognise styles either

Me too. Always in lower case as well I think. 🙂

I confuse Junky & Cynic Al - not sure why.

Edit: I am not Fred

This is why forums have avatars.

Yes, I can hardly tell the difference. It's the lack of avatars that does it.

all the big hitters, they have quite similar personalities, i’m sure they are all the same person.

Every forum post should be anonymous else we risk the sycophants starting threads about each other.

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.
Didn't have any idea who Jamie was / is.
Do I win five pounds?

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)

'm not. Maybe Jamie'll be along in a minute to deny being me 😀

Curiously, Rorschach tests always look like murdered prostitutes to me.

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!

Unless Jamie is like sixty five years old then I'm more likely to be his love dad

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.
