Don't see a need for more than one screen name.
There is something else that I find troubling and that is the people that change screen names and keep their old sign in dates. Why isn't the new screen name listed for the date it was signed on and then a second line for original sign on date? It makes me wonder why so many people are changing their screen names? What is the purpose? Don't they want us to know who they originally were?
For example if I changed my screen name for my daughter's new sorority to AOII Mom instead of PhiKapMom -- it would read AOII Mom -- 15 October 2003 with the second line Original Sign-on Date - Feb 1999
It makes me wonder why so many people are changing their screen names? What is the purpose? Don't they want us to know who they originally were? I can see why some people might wish to change their screen names, if said screen names were timely or descriptive several years ago, but aren't any more - for example, screen names referring to Gore, or to a place a poster no longer lives.
I agree that it would be good to know who the poster originally was, and I think we can both see why someone would want to keep their original sign-in date.
My question refers more to what I see as rank hypocrisy: Dales admits he has more than one screen name, but the rest of us aren't allowed to have but one. It appears to be a case of the rules only applying to some people, and I was hoping perhaps someone would tell me why appearances were deceiving in this case.
