I don't have a problem or complaint in the way you mean. That is, this isn't something I wanted dealt with by a moderator or by Heather. It bothered me but, frankly, I thought everyone knew this was going on and just didn't mention it out of politeness or some kind of Board etiquette or something. It never occurred to me I'd be giving people news. When Nelly brought up multiple handles, I thought it would be a good chance to discuss the issue in general and see how people feel about it. I'd still really like for that discussion to take place - multiple handles is a big deal for me. I'd be a lot more comfortable if I had never figured out what was going on.

What I regret and apologize for is my flippant comment about someone answering herself. I feel now like that came out as callous and led to the issue of multiple handles getting sidetracked into sort of poking fun which is absolutely NOT what I wanted and what I'm glad you interrupted. What I DID want was some open discussion about the whole idea of posting under multiple names so I could understand how other people felt about it and maybe that would help me deal with how I felt about it.

So to me, this isn't a moderator or Heather issue - the people posting under multiple handles aren't doing anything "wrong". I saw it as a community issue - how do we all feel about this, what does it mean for how the Boards function (if anything), does anyone besides me really care? That kind of thing.

One last thing. Now that I realize this isn't common knowledge, I'm not going to name names. I feel bad enough about not being careful in my wording - I'm not going to compound the problem by outing anybody.
