Multiple Names

Why are so many people posting with multiple names when this is a definite rule from MH that we are NOT allowed to do? Should I too start a new nic? Why are people just changing their names out of nowhere it makes no sense it's the number 1 'get you banned' rule but nobody is even paying attention to it any longer?

I can hardly remember who I am now!  I also have a hard time making friends as it is, and would hate to think everyone would forget me as my alter ego took over.

I did it because of the Meds mostly I got worried about using a site every day to get through the day these meds do something strange things to you but it wasnt anything personal.  Emily is right you cant delete your other name it stays there!  This was all new to me 6 months ago found myself here every day for support and it freaked me out at first so I left then realized I am just not used to reaching out for help I take on most tasks on my own.  Hope that answers part of the question.

Yeah, think of having to live with Scratchinghead. I was visualizing scratching my head, confused. Not itching. oh well.
Head doesn't itch. And I don't scratch it unless I can't figure out an answer.

If you are using an iPad for typing maybe you should consider the Apple Wireless Keyboard - the very thin metal one... bluetooth. It is a dream to type on. I have been using it since getting my MacMini a couple years ago and really love that keyboard and its minimalism at its best. I also have the bluetooth Magic Trackpad by Apple and that is something great too (but that is another story, lol)...

I do think a third party may have an iPad portfolio cover type thing that wraps around the iPad and Apple Wireless Keyboard. Foggy brain, cant remember where I say the portfolio thing - maybe on the Apple Store *******.

We got that Bocep that is a different story. You type on on Ipad right, God knows my typing on the Ipad makes typos everywhere. I only think you do because of the Z when I go to cap something most of the time the Z comes up.....so annoying ;)

Oh, lol...I didn't give my name a single thought, when I made it, 5 weeks into Tx~  But I think I'm the only one I've noticed on here, who named herself after her Protease Inhibitor!
   I remember, at the time, I spelled the name incorrectly, and the MedHelp Mod was kind enough to point out the error to me, and then corrected it for me, per my request.

Hi everyone -

I can't speak about individual members, but there are sometimes instances when we allow a member to make a new name, as long as the other is properly disabled, and the reasons why are valid.

If anyone has concerns, come to us and ask.  There's no need to stir things up.

Thats always been the case here but this didn't go on and sure wasn't allowed by Medhelp...

I think cheppie is a cute name.

I set up a new account when I treated this time. The other one hasn't had any activity since 2008. I don't remember the password and I used a throw away Gmail address to set up the account. But I am thinking that is not what you mean. Do you mean someone having different names and logging on with one or sometimes the other.

This may have something to do with it.

Cheppie, I've never once thought of you as a chipmunk or a little pet. Besides, chipmunks are cute:)
