AskMetachatter: LT Has Finally Joined Metafilter! So...the question is.... →[More:]

Do you think it more fun to be the same name on both here and the blue? Or do you enjoy having an alter ego?

Or, put another way, any of you old-timers have a preference on me keeping the LT tag over there vs. some new hotness?

I put it to you, Metachat. My fate is in your hands.

I like it when people are the same thing on both sites. It's too hard to keep track of otherwise.

Yeah makes recognition easier.

plus, if you keep the same name (exactly, spaces and caps intact), then your Blue posts will show up in the right sidebar here.

Huh, I've actually never noticed that list in the side bar before.

I lover you people.

Pro tip: Just don't get all gooey-chewy-dewy over there, or you'll get crushed.

I used the same name over here thinking it simplified things so people would know me/recognize me on both sites.

Yeah, some of us older people have trouble remembering our own names, never mind having to remember two names for those we admire. It's all just too hard.
