If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

We have Kat, Kat Allison, kat perez, katalene, Kate P., katefate, Katerina Bee, katewrath, Kathy, Kathy Astrom, kathya11, Katie D, Katie M, katje9, KatsInNuyork, katya, and Katya P.

And yet, whenever the subject of multiple names comes up, Jess is the example that gets used...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Jess M., JessPMoon, Jesse, and JesseBelle (who I imagine must wear a pink cowboy hat).

This heart ain't gonna cut itself out

I can go with OtherKate. I've never been fond of the first letter of my last name. Too many days of being last in line because of alphabetization or something. Stupid W.

Thanks!

Done. You may want to add a note about the change to your tag for a little while.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Don't mean to natter in here, but...

OtherKate, I was unreasonably excited when I got married and moved all the way up to the second letter in the alphabet.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Great, now I'm picturing some Sesame Streetesque big foamy W looking all sad and droopy. I'm sorry, W!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

And I'm imagining Vamp Puppet!Angel just decimating that poor W. Two V's anyone?

I do like the name change, OtherKate.

Well, yeah. I mean, without it I could only eep for the letter W.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's been a discussion of a list (static or otherwise) of all user names in BBaBB, starting here: Consuela "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Apr 5, 2004 6:18:20 pm PDT

I'm having trouble articulating exactly why it is, but it is.

I think you're helping me think it out.

It's just that, as a poster, my name is out there, visible to whoever. But that's a conscious and obvious decision I made at or before the first time I hit "Post message."

Lurkers have made no such choice. So the choice should be an explicit one, but then again has to be day forward which is all messy and stuff.

Can we make the decisions for lurkers that don't read here anymore? How fair is it?

(Not contentious questions -- discussion points)
