Polly Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 HiI have just found out that there seem to be (at least) two of us with the username PollySurely this can't be right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Unfortunately, this system does not prevent user name duplication, which is something we have already brought to the attention of the Tech people.If you are concerned about being mistaken for another Polly, your could try a different spelling (Poly? [:D]) or add an avatar to your profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerdesal Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I understand Ernie, its just that her post was 1hour +20mins after my anonymouse comment, I assumed she was responding to the latest post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Actually, although it doesn't bother me greatly, 'er indoors has commented a few times on my user name so this seems as opportune a moment to change it as any so here I am reborn ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 What does the lady in question think of your use of the old-fashioned derogatory term 'er indoors'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Nothing.It seems to be exclusvely others who read something derogatrory into it or take issue with my use of the term but that's their problem, not 'er indoors's [:D]Are you going to reveal who our mutual acquaintance is, by initial or PM if you like ?

Polly Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Hello Polly - I don't mind that there are two of us! - I don't post much anyway, unless I am searching for info - I leave it to others to chit-chat. I'm sure we won't be mistaken for each other.It could prove interesting tho' .................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
