I think I'm going to get confused by the presence of "thinkerbell" and I know I'm "tinkerbell" so woe be it for anyone else trying to work out who's who.
Can I claim copyright on a name and its near matches?
Should Dave have allowed such a close match?
Maybe imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
What do the panel think? |

Ah, so you are different people! I was confused, thought maybe you'd amended your name.
Maybe it would help if you had avatars? Or maybe thinkerbell (cuz she's new) should change her name, or add some numbers. Or something. |

I thought I was 31 and ghost!
I'm definitely neither tinker- nor thinker- bell. I'm sometimes yaramaz. I rarely wear eyeliner. |

gosh, i'd no idea! sorry!  i used to read in these forums when i first got into teaching, so may be then i might have seen ur name, but got no memory about it...
so in this sense u might be right about the flattery  i subconsiously admire ur nick 
anyway, promise to think of a new one now coz that stuff with the avatars's too complicated for me  ! |

I guesSSs mine is easy enough... tavsan0! with my oversized bunny pic!! No Confusion there then
Any ex bakirkoy would know "tavsan Pete"... So I figured I'd keep with my old "nick " here on EsL Cafe... saves confusionNn...but saying that I do have an "aka"...."roadkillwabbit"....more bunny nonsense!!!
wish I was still 31..."sigh...."
"Rotten decaying bunnies in bins... attract doggsSs...(and maybe the odd cat too!!) |

Thanks everyone, for clearing up all the confusion. Now I can start wearing eyeliner again.
Thinkerbell, you may just have to make a new sign-in identity altogether. Then just announce in your first post that you're the poster formerly known as thinkerbell... |
