How do you not realise that you made a second user id? I can see not noticing which one you've signed in under, but how do you create a new user name without doing it purposefully?

Keep in mind, this was almost 14 years ago, so i can only describe what I think happened...
Registered on one device.
Week or so later (according to another poster on the callout thread) I tried to sign in on a different device, but couldn't register.
Registered again but - surprise! - the username was taken.
Here's the funky part. I'm virtually positive I used the same email address for both accounts. That shouldn't have been possible, but...

A second User name seems to have occurred in two instances, one it was done to ask a question without all of the preconceived notions of a poster coming into play. In other words they felt they could not get a reasonable or good opinion under their original name because of a reputation. The second was when someone just went off the deep end and to be able to post anything again had to come at it with a totally different name. As someone else pointed out it is interesting that even with name changes the writing style and opinions still shine through. I will admit I pay much less attention to names today as opposed to many years ago. Back then I could tell you who the poster was without even seeing the name just from what they said. It got to a point where I could almost write the post for them because they were so predictable and so consistant.

I came here in the late 90's specifically to plan trips, then I got involved with all the postings and contributed and commented. Then I left for a lot of reasons and finally came back because we were going a lot and I wanted to see what advice/ information was available. I try to stay more middle of the road because dispite a kinder gentler feel there are still those out there who will rip you up in a heartbeat if you don't walk the line. But that really is the way of a lot of boards these days, some are brutal but many are like this one, play nice and things go okay as long as you don't rock the boat too much.

Then there's creating a sock puppet to agree with yourself when everyone else is disagreeing. Those are funny.
