It is really irritating when in a thread "Meglamaniac" is addressed as "Barry" if the name is not a secret why not use it?

Because there are crackpots and weirdos out there .
I was on a forum ( it's now no more ) thank goodness .
It had plenty of both.
It also had a nasty line in cliques and a particularly vicious one run by a then ( supposedly )serving police officier .
She spent so much time on there I wondered whenever she and the rest of her boys in blue gang had time to do any policing .
I have to say it coloured my thinking of the police and their constant moans about too much paperwork.

Personally it never ceases to amaze me how much time some people actually spend on forums, I can barely find time during the day to keep up with this one, let alone several...

Unfortunately some of those "Crackpots and Weirdos" have found their way on to this site now and if we're not careful will cause this site to fail also.

Two different names for two very different sites .....

But there is a connection between the two names.

Is this a game?

How about 'Old Labrador' or 'Old Poodle', or even 'Old Schitzu'?
