I think Holli M is the one JenP means. Sorry for the X-post.
Correct, and Dana said she'd message her on Tumblr. I know the difference between them, but I didn't want to divulge shrift's name.

It's interesting reading about folks not knowing real names and pseuds. I'm purposely not FB friends with anyone who's not an offline, in-person friend, so am not connected with anyone there whose pseuds I wouldn't know. I have to keep it simple like that or I'd go bananas trying to keep it all straight.
I think I know of two board Cindys (?), and I am tweeps with the old TWOP Cindy but don't know of that's Topic!Cindy here and have always been too shy to ask. :P

What is even happening?
I think I'm the only board Cindy (and I'm really sorry to any other Cindy if I'm not). I had the name without the "Topic" part for a long time. The Topic was to remind me not to live in Bureaucracy after I spent far too much time doing that.
EDIT: I forgot I knew any other name for shrift. Shrift is just shrift.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I contacted Anne. She's been suffering the same sort of ... disconnect for the past few years. Holli is also on FB as well as Tumblr--I'll message her there. She's not been active on b.org for years, though, but I'm sure she'd like to know.
I can't think of it as the collection agency, but the far-flung would appreciate news, I think, even if they don't choose to reconnect.
ETA: Betsy H-P has been away a long time. I know she lived in NC briefly, but I don't know if she and amyth ever met. And I have no idea whether she'd want to be contacted, but it's a thought, for any who knew her better than I did.

I'm the TWoP Cindy. You know me on Twitter with a McLastname. I think I'm the only board Cindy (and I'm really sorry to any other Cindy if I'm not). I had the name without the "Topic" part for a long time. The Topic was to remind me not to live in Bureacracy after I spent far too much time doing that.
Oh okay! Then who is CindyWrites?
Beverly, you're also on DWS right?? And thank you for contacting Anne. I miss her a lot.
ETA: I just noticed that there isn't an automatic indication when someone updates a post. Sorry!

It’s another long-standing Buffista conversation but there are definitely people who I still think of primary by board name, even in person, some where my brain essentially pops in both names simultaneously and still others where real names have overtaken and I sometimes have to grasp for the board name. Not a ton of rhyme or reason to it, with a few exceptions where someone had a clear expressed preference.

FWIW, I know Megan Walker has been active in (at least) the Gaming thread today.
I believe Betsy H-P is on Tumblr if someone wants to reach out. (I'm On-Call today so I don't have bandwidth.)

Yep, I checked that thread a few minutes ago and saw that, so edited my post. Which is when I discovered that our edited posts don't say so. Was that intentional with the redux board?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It was an annoying and busy day at work, and I have to go in tomorrow.(This protocol has the patient starting on D-3 with timepoints for samples, then D-2 has a 24 hr timepoint, and D-1 has a 48 hr timepoint. Problem is, they keep starting the patients on Friday, resulting in people having to go in on Saturday and Sunday to process the samples.)
