Does no one else share similar usernames?

Me too, I agree with everyone. Don't leave over this please, have a word with HQ.

There was another Mollie but I haven’t seen her for a while. I had to make a point that her views weren’t mine on one thread because people were replying to her using my name and not her full screen name. I was a bit miffed at the time. Is it so hard to find a distinctive screen name? I hope HQ can sort this out for you Luckylegs.

Luckylegs you can't go. I think that there have been cases where an original Gransnetter has changed their name, but then has posted a comment with a broad hint as to who they are. IYSWIM. . Please get HQ to sort it out.

I joined Gransnet at the beginning with the name "absentgrana", which I later changed to just "absent". Much later, someone else joined as "absentgrandma" or something very similar and she had some attitudes and political positions that were very different from mine. Through no fault of her own, some people just responded to her as "absent", which caused both confusion and distress, so I am in agreement that names that are similar enough for confusion should not be allowed.

Oh and I echo other posters. Don’t leave Luckylegs speak to GNHQ there must be something they can do .

I agree with janeA the OP on the abortion petition thread it just one letter different from a long established poster .
I don’t think HQ should allow such close similarities .

I echo what Kate says. Talk to hq. That is far too confusing for doddery old folk like us!

But, please don't go

I’ve posted on the abortion petition thread about this issue, as the OP in that thread has a very similar username to an established poster, and I think it’s confusing for everyone, and unfair to the member who had the name first, to allow such similar names.
I hope GNHQ take note.

I suggest you contact HQ and ask them to sort out the problem. Please do not go.

Yes it's odd that the second luckylegs thinks that the first luckylegs should not have her user name! It almost seems as though she tried to register as just luckylegs and the site would have informed her that the username was already taken, so she just added the 9 to be able to use the name.

Well first and foremost don’t leave Luckylegs
I think it’s in everyone’s interest to have completely different names and I. think it’s utterly confusing when there is only one letter different Have you thought of a private message to her, when it happened to me the other Bluebell had a figure one instead of the letter l and it looked exactly the same she hadn’t realised and was more than happy to change her name as I d been on a lot longer
If a PM doesn’t work how about changing your name to Luckylegsthefirst
