What's the most common name on CA?

[Cornan]

I am confused. So many people is Alex, Michael, Brian, John or Larry.

Help me to sort this out. What are the most common real names of CA members and what should we call them? Not everyone could be just Alex right? WTH, I am Micael myself.

Esophagus.

[Ralf11]

Wombat

[Cornan]

Interesting! ?

[sockpit]

Sonore and Uptone . . . 

[Sam Lord]

Well there's a guy named Chris but let's say a wire short of a circuit wot. 

[Indydan]

Monty Quinn Anderson

 

Most people refer to him by his initials, MQA.

@Cornan

 

i address members by their screen name, I know some folks use true names, but I never could keep these other names straight.   I would not use someone’s name unless given permission.

Who still thinks Clarke/Kubrick did it on purpose even though they assisted with the movie and their  logo is in a 'shuttle' scene

 

They got their own back though. ILM (Industrial Light and Magic, what a strange 'coincidence') do the effects  for the Star Wars movies and it's not entirely Lucas' money or his returns

@christopher3393:Very funny-had nothing else to do while waiting for the next patient and am trying to work my way up to 1000 posts!

what amazes me sometimes when i answer these type of posts how quickly i get a response but when i ask something really serious or have an audiophile problem no one seems to answer-still think troll is best way to describe a lot of recent stuff sent to CA lately without naming names(to protect the innocent)

Well said. I was kidding and was also thinking of Bob Stuart.

There is trolling and there is trolling.  All else being equal, the guy making a single completely debased comment meant to agitate less steady posters pales in comparison to the efforts put forth across multiple accounts with equally many long term campaigns against sane even tempered behavior.  Isn't that a personal bugaboo, Christopher?

[bobbmd]

@christopher3393: does thinking about THAT Bob give you nightmares/night terrors?? And just what is rando implying anyway-I certainly hope this doesn’t start anything

[rando]

I won't attempt to answer for him.  In the past a contingent of users have voiced discontent with his ideals and constructions that move discourse towards less liberally unrestrained free for alls everyone should by dint of observation know better than to enter if they have feelings. 

 

Whether or not this opposing force overtakes ability of the entire forum to operate is a matter of varied opinion.  Also he is a moderator or holds some other high level position.  Thus has some term to fulfill where disruptions occur.
