As an uninvited guest, I will just tell my story and try not to moralize or dispense advice.
A few years ago, I stumbled across saabnet and liked it enough that I spent weeks just reading the archives before I even started lurking around the up-to-date bulletin boards. Eventually, I joined in the ongoing threads using the screen name "Tom S."
A year later, someone else posted a few comments using "my" screen name. I was about to respond with a 'get your own screen name' post when I realized that it was just a matter of time until yet another Tom S. would appear. I'm a rather laid-back individual, and I'd rather not have to defend my turf against people who in all probablity have no idea that somebody else has already used the name. They would most likely not appreciate the following scenerio:
*Newbie: Can anyone help me with this car problem?
_____*Newbie: Change your name! (n/m)
I decided to hatch a Plan_B, and "IrieTom" was born. No more confusion and social mayhem over extremely ordinary names.
Peace.
-Tom S.
