If you get zapped

[DottyH]

like i have been for over a week now, would it not be better all round if instead of making up a totally new and different id, a user actually created an id similar to the original one, like wardy does or i do?

Less confusing.

[Redbel]

Sounds like a good idea Dotty. That would work for those of us who did things by the book...... But I don't think the users that make up names just to poke fun or have a dig at someone would go for it....somehow.

[zimzam]

Its a great idea because I don't know who half the people are now and the names they gave me recently is pretty much an obsolete list.

[lady_p_gold]

Or like I did from Lady P Gold to Lady P Gone ! Still no luck in coming back Dotty ?? You must be fed up.

[Kerplunk]

It would only confuse the chat type questions anyway. And they aren't allowed so there is no problem with calling yourself whatever you want.

Testing....

[Octavius]

Yes, for those sensible people that would be a grand idea. But then you get the odds and sods who would register, for example as dottyh and confuse everyone by not being the true DottyH.

Does it really matter? Confusion is just a state of mind.

Dotty, My "Daisy48" was banned without explanation. When I mailed the tech's I finally had a reply addressed to my own Yahoo addy saying "Dear bitzy, you have been banned for saying bad things" Bitzy? I replied saying I was not Bitzy and had not said "Bad Things" and could I re register as Daisy48. No! So I created a hotmail addy and the username battersby. God only knows whats going on. Daisy.

How very odd Daisy?

[battersby]

Tell me about it smudge! I was told that was'nt allowed to re register using my Yahoo mail addy? The tech who told me that wrote in broken english. Maybe he/she did'nt understand? All I know is, I had'nt said "Bad Things". I'll see if I still have the mail to copy and paste. Oh for a proper explanation:-~ Daisy.

[DottyH]

I wonder if these emails are dictated over a phone line and translated into the electronic word via one of those software things that does that sort of thing. My email response was a bit oddly worded too, like i had been naughty but they didn't want to deal with it.

[battersby]

Could possibly be Dotty. The other 2 mail's were ok but that last one was definatley in broken english. Sounds like you'd been naughty? That's how mine came over. Daisy

[DJerba]

Dotty have you sorted this dilema you keep ranting on about with your name?

[dot.hawkes]

Yes i have thank you very much DJerba, i am back to normal, are you also zapped and using another ID? It doesn't sound familiar, i always choose one that does not imply i am hiding behind another name.

[DJerba]

No Dot Djerba is just the most fantastic countries I've been to...hence the name.
