[Opinions] Re: well.
in reply to a message by Octavia
Yeah but maybe 'she' doesn't want to. I don't have a problem with us having the same posting name, I don't post very often, so if you're the one who has a problem with it you can change your own posting name.

Honestly, though
Even if you registered with this name, your lack of posting made it fair enough for blaaargh to assume the name was available and take it. You can't just reclaim it now; that's really not fair to her. She's been posting regularly, and she started using this name before you made your grand re-entrance. You really ought to use a different name. It is confusing for you to both have the same name, so even if you don't mind, that's not how it works around here. And to everyone who has commented -- Mike C can change your log-in for you if you ask nicely, but you cannot just do it under user options. But there is no need to change the log-ins, only the posting name.

I'm torn on this, but
I do think it would be nice for the infrequent posting Octavia to let the frequently posting Octavia have the name. "Legally", though, the infrequent one had it first.
