Actually, I don't think it is (I hope). But it just kinda bugs me, since it occurs to me now and then that other forums I attend require me to log in, but not so here. It probably isn't a problem, if we disregard the possibility of a conspiracy, since there are so few people here. BTW, I don't think I could recognize a change in someone's writing style.
: Read fletches post Jon, he makes a good point. It doesn't really matter who posts as whom, you should judge the content by it's worth, and you'll find if someone is multiple cross posting , and is doing it just to fool around, they'll slip up sooner or later, and you'll also be able to judge (as we said) by the quality of their posts. Curious...why do you find this an issue you need to post on?

: Actually, if you're like me (& I suspect a lot are)I tend to remember peoples IP addresses (or at least notice if they don't quite look right) & that requires further investigation if I feel strongly about what they have said *...yawn*. Secondly people can change their names but it's much harder to disguise your writing style (same spelling mistakes)& phrasology. It requires to much effort for most people to bother with. If you read here every day you soon get to know peoples styles regardless of their names so there's no point really. Regards "Stutterin Jim" :-)
: : : I just wanted to ask real quick: How do you all know it is really me responding right now, and not a new Jonathan who is not aware of my existence or an imposter, who for whatever reason is pretending to be me? I don't have to log in to post, and I wouldn't notice if you all started having different IP addresses, since I don't have the time to memorize them all.
