Change name problem

I rather like your name, soontobe... it's intruiging.

Yes, thanks. It probably isnt much really.

I haven't noticed any personal information in your posts, sootobe - all I know about you (as opposed to what I assume) is that you are a Christian.

I think we've had a discussion about this before, in the light of there having been a time when anyone who wished to, could change their names willy-nilly.

So ... given that things have changed since I signed up, which means that I'm now registered under T & C' s that I didn't sign up to, I'll have to have a think.

I got 'busted' when someone recognised me by certain details I gave in a post. I did change my name, though I think I was still recognisable. I am a little more careful now, but some things are likely to leak out, especially if one has been around the block - not saying that I have, of course.

Yes, doesn't she think the English ones offer enough choice?

I'm just wondering what Elegran was doing on an American dating site

I don't think there was a 'plot' to lose kitty

I've been really busy lately and , having just read this thread from beginning to end, either I've lost the plot or I need a long lie down!

Some posters certainly have in the past and have been unceremoniously ousted from Gransnet when discovered. Best not to go there.

Really, POGS? How do you know this?

Surely not.

Some posters do.

If that were possible, we'd all be doing it. We could have conversations/arguments with ourselves and all sorts...

You can subtly change the facts when you describe things, soon, so that it wouldn't be obvious to someone who knows you that they are reading your posts.
If you have another email address you could just join as a new member, using that email, and then you could post as both soontobe and dontknowwhoiam all the while altering the details in your posts. Then your disguise would be complete.

I will do what you suggest in a month jingl.

Poor soontobe/Iamnow/neverwas..... Go and have a nice big . and I'll join you!

But soontobe isn't trying to present herself as a new member, she's just proposing not to give any personal information away in her new incarnation.

Oh yes.

Never mind! Give it a go.

That's what I was thinking too, loopy

But jingl no one had the slightest problem in recognising your new incarnations each of the many times you changed your name. Other Gransnetters with distinctive writing styles or particular obsessions interests about which they often posted were/are immediately recognisable under new names. soontobe will be obvious even she calls herself neverwas.

jingl you are priceless !

soon. Try this. Click on My Gransnet in the green line thing up the top. Then click on 'preferences'. At the bottom of the page you will see 'delete my registration'. Click on that. Then join again as a different person. You could be 'Iamnow'. See? 'Soontobe' - 'Iamnow'.

Go on give it a try. I dare you. If you are not back in an hour, under new name, we will all contact GNHQ en masse to protest.

Ok?

Oh! I see! I thought you meant a tooth crown. And you really had a horse. But you mean.... Oh! Never mind. More by the minute on here.

It's probably a good idea to bear in mind that anything put on the internet is potentially available to anyone, even if it is protected by passwords. That's why I never post about how difficult it is to clean a crown or how sore it is when one's horse stands on one's foot. Ooops, what a give-away!
