Dear Editor.

Would it not be possible to have a Democratic Vote with all who wish to Take part on Answerbank,To vote Yes/No to similar user names being Allowed on this site.

[caramba22242]

what's the problem.You get notified if an answer has been posted and there must be millions of combinations for vinny, followed by a number

[cheyenne]

Put it this way,if i called myself caramba222421 ? would you be pleased!!II dont think oneeyedvic is to chuffed at oneeyedic.where have you been the last few days?useing another user name!!

[Oneeyedvic]

Vinny - thank you very much - I did post on your previous question but got banned!

Anyway, just wanted to say thank you (and the others) who were kind enough to give your support. I don't hink the AbEds particularly care about this issue and assume it would be too dificult to police.

Anyway, so long as (most) people are now aware there are variations of peoples names, that is half the battle. At least you, Hgrove etc now know to check the spelling of the name to see who has posted answers.

I will carry on answering and posting questions as I like the (majority of) others on this site.

[cheyenne]

Cheers Smudge,ive got an imposter on How it works.I sent the Ed an e.mail 10 this morning but guess what !!yes its still there.vinny100:vinnyI00 not much in it is there.

[smudge]

Hi Vinny100 - if you take a look on Suggestions under Message Board Rules, you will see my post to the Ed regarding your imposter.

Hgrove kindly brought to my attention that there is now a Vinny100 & a Vinnyl00 - I hadn't even noticed - but I will from now on!

[landie]
