Out your sockpuppets: some of the 10.5K users must be doubles

August 26, 2001 10:41 AM

Anyone else noticed that there are now 10,500 members. And I remember when everyone was complaining about 8000. I'm sure, however, that some of these must be members who've registered a name simply for a single thread either as a joke or theme. So how about an amnesty. How about listing all of the user names you've ever used...see that's better...

Just "corpse". I used "ding" a few times because I forgot my password at work.

You might be surprised, but there are really only 12 people on metafilter. They use many different names for the sole and only purpose of confusing you.

I don't know about all of you, but I am just part of a complex Eliza script.

I've only got this one username, and I didn't even sign up for it. It's all that damn microsoft passport! I'm just trying to read my hotmail!

Complaining about 8000? I remember when we were complaining about all the newbies with four digit user numbers! Heck, they still annoy me.

That's nothing, dave, you should hear what the two-digit folks are saying about you. :-)
