      It can be a big problem if one of them has an arrest record and the police come knocking on your door at 2AM with a warrant for your arrest.

        I tried but there is no trace of me out there in Electron Land and I'm happy with that. However i did come across a namesake in Mugshots USA, I find that site unbelievable!! It just looks like legalised extortion to me.

          I know of two people who been issuesd with false traffic fines from their alter-ego from who lived in a totally different state.
          Luckly they could prove they where not in those locations when the traffic fine was issued.

            And then there was the bright spark who paid a lot of money to get the registration plate "NONE" for his car. He thought it was a great joke until the parking fines started appearing from all over Australia. The problem was every time the council parking officers came across a abandoned car without plates they wrote "none" in the space on their form for the rego number. It wasn't until the police turned up to arrest him for non payment of fines he realised what a twat he really was!

              I still like a hells angels biker number plate I saw years ago; verbatim without quotes the plate read "QQQQ".

              I stood there reading for 2-3 mins before it hit me. Thumbs up for intuitive I thought...

                I'm under the radar for the biggest part. Nothing using my real name, but when I entered my CTN name I did get a picture of my avatar.

                  Nope, I've been saying it to myself all day and I still don't get it, I'm probably going to feel really stupid when it's explained

                    I was too embarrassed to say I didn't get it - so, that will be two of us (at least) that might feel stupid.

                      I think with a generous accent Four Q's would sound like "F you or F'ers" but not really funny.

                            Four q. Move the "K" sound from the start of Q to the end of four and you get fork you, another version of f**k you.
