>Likewise, I thought of JimmyOfYork and Wes as two different people until someone told me -- yohey!

Wes is Jimmy of York? Seriously. Wow. I totally missed that one. Tubba/Matthew you forgot to mention and that one still throws me.

>Same person. Morris/eric slator as well.

Again I had no idea. How many people on here are double personalities without my knowledge! Gah!

>While I'm naming names, the whole split of mamday/Melanie in chat/forum was a huge surprise. I never knew >that they were the same person up until a month ago -- and she's been posting in the forum since last >September!

Thank god that's me or I probably wouldn't have noticed that either :)

Even though most of us here know each other's real names, we also know them as posting under a specific handle. I know that this poster is really John, this person is really Stephanie, this one is really Carrie. Then suddenly someone shows up as John, someone else shows up as Stephanie, someone else shows up as Carrie. Are these the same John, Stephanie, and Carrie that I know? Are they other people with the same common first names? Do I really have to reference IP numbers when I read a post to determine who is who?

> So, I'll stay Faux Pas here in Rinkchat, even though everyone knows I'm Thomas. That's why you should stay "Don the Monkeyman" or just "Monkeyman" (or at least keep the word "monkey" in your chatname). That's why you, hlf, should stay hlf and not name yourself after a cat (which you'll tire of eventually and want to rename yourself after a knight of the round table, then we'll have to call you hlfelineahad).

> -Faux "Thomas" Pas

I like Jackson... But that's just me. However I see FP's point. If you change your name, I will probably forget it's you. You've got a lot of weight on Rinkworks with Monkeyman. Maybe you should think of that before you change it.
