    ...how I've managed to survive as long as I have in this place with one identity?

    I might more productively wonder why everyone else seems to need more than one?

    Always seemed a bit of a deceptive practice.

    If we were to all meet at the pub, the name-tagging would be a horrendous problem.

    As usual, only my opinion.

    It is the buying of six pints for the same individual that would crack me up. Likewise I only have the one but I am easily confused and could end up arguing with myself.

    I'm don't find myself inclined to argue while in a pub.

    Sit at my table, Les; we'll drink to our non-schizoid one-ness.

    Exactly, you (plural) don't make the rules here (or even understand them) even tho' you may make them elsewhere.

    As such overt displays of condescension are unlikely to have a positive effect.

    Not entirely sure why feeling miserly regarding buying six pints for one individual is condescending. I can only asume you were hopeful regarding your 18 accounts

    Condescending and obtuse, there's a heady mix.

    I do confess to be a tad confused - this one has obviously gone right over my head.
