    All things are possible - but you may need to instruct me as to exactly what you want done . Obviously, having two members called Anna, being different people, might need some delicate negotiation.
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      On the BBC Messageboard, I know that someone impersonated me with the same nickname, some time time after I had changed to this name. I expressed my concern, and the other's name was quickly changed, but then went on to impersonate a different member for a while. Later, however, he/she took on my characteristics, even playing the same instruments and "living in the same area". No harm was done, but it was a little uncomfortable. So far, there's been no sign of the same over here.

        If anything like that happened here, I think I could guarantee a thorough investigation.

        Going back to Anna's query, there may be things which the software doesn't like but the administration is happy with. And vice versa. I don't think there is any legitimate purpose for operating more than one account. Except me and Lars Porsenna, of course .

          O you are not alone, ff, in this favouring - and I wish that was more widely the custom here. It takes but a moment to excise the sentences to which one is not specifically replying.
