Paul, no matter what mistakes or intentional insult a commenter makes out of your name, you can't sign in under any other name until you start a new account. In a Haloscan commenting system, you can. It doesn't care if you use Paul or Pual. If you misspell your name here when you sign in, you don't get in, even with the right password. For me to change, for instance, from Mooser to Nooser, I would have to open a new account.
I'm just a little mystified why a poster would start a new account with a similar name and not just keep their old account, or start an account with a totally new name like, for instance, oh, "Garms Balls" or something.
Of course, if a person, or anybody else for that matter, wants to create a new account, there is nothing to stop them.
Why it's almost as if someone wanted to separate themselves from a years worth of letters posted under their name. Why would someone do that? I doubt very much you would.
