Username!

Hi all a question for the moderators nothing serious. It has always puzzled me that new members who register have a NAS12345 type of user name.

Maybe a short term thing?

Just wondered how long it stays like that?

why the name they register with doesn't come up?

I didn't notice when I joined if my username was there or a number.

like in the popular series"The Prisoner" "I am not a number".we are not robots or commodities (or are we;)?he he he.

thank you.

  • I thought they remained a number because they hadn't chosen a name, it is very confusing when there's a lot of numbers around to tell them apart. Never seen The Prisoner but Kafka's The Trial certainly had me transfixed as a teenager.

    Hello friends good to see you still pop in for a chat or to help others.

    I only realised when I welcomed a new comer here,they replied "why am I appearing as NAS24221 when I chose a nickname comparable to yours?".

    I must be a softy as it upsets me when newcomers don't get any response straight away.

    uh oh my head is overloading as bonniepurple's comment came up whilst I'm typing and tom is typing now! Well I must learn to type quicker.

    don't know Kafka? Agree with tom about prisoner being a bit like life as an aspie That's in my humble non professional opinion.
