with all the questions about where's such and such......

[Mrs BOOST EM]

I was wondering about PH etiquette, ie, do people change there names and come to PH on a mulitple personalities? Do people click on to the fact that others do this? I have regonised a couple, in my short time on here, that do this (no names mentioned of course) And what about people who change there names, is this a done thing? Do people just do it cos they bored of there old names or should we treat these people with suspision or have I opened a can of worms here, do people announce that they have changed there nicknames (or whatever there called??) Do people just assume its "I am bored with my old name" or am I asking too many questions

As you can see another busy day at work!!

I'm now on my third nickname since I started.

Just got bored of the other ones and fancied a change.

[zoidberg]

I've changed my name three times in my 5 1/2 years here!

Really and people eventually recognise who you originally were?

[Plotloss]

Considered changing it a few times, never have though...

[Nick P]

i'd could always change mine, but would have to go the registry office first

[chris watton]

Perhaps they've been taken away quitely in the night by the Gestapo and locked up as enemies of the state under the new anti terrorist acts!

[timmy30]

I tried out a new nickname but it's didn't fit, it was like buying a pair of trousers which are just the wrong shape for me, so I'm back on my original one.

[Kentish]

Best saved for when you really pi55 someone off

[DieselJohn]

I'd really like to change mine but it's take 1000 posts for anyone to have any idea who I am and I can't be bothered to start again!

[Kentish]

Haven't seen Lord Letchworth for a while, his dictation to his secretary during postings was most amusing

She used to add her own bits in ...moaning about him, used to make me laugh.

[TheLemming]

Changed mine years ago... Cant quite remember why though, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

[Mrs BOOST EM]

So when you change you name do you tell everyone or just assume they will click on that its you, or do you enjoy the annominity for a while? Of course this is until they click on your profile....

God I sound like the combination of some resident psychologolist into personlity research and a Mrs busy body!! Neither true just curious

[KITT]

I wanted to use Moose when I signed up but someone had already taken it (and is not an active member!). If he ever removes his profile I'll change

Edit: well I'll be damed he posted something last week!!

Ive had my online name since when BBS's were in fashion..

[Tyre Smoke]

I used to be Yiw1393, but sold the car (and plate). A brown trouser moment not long after acquiring my Cerb saw the emergence of Tyre Smoke.

Bomber Denton used to be plain (!) old corin denton until he went to Le Mans last year.

Don't think you have to inform anyone, but Ted has strict rules about multiple identities.
