Masona, there was no confusion in the first place,
Yes there was, hence my "irony" post directed at Julie because of things
you had said in the past, not her.
Ban is just nit-picking and trouble causing(again).Nobody else showed any concern at all.
Not nit-picking, just trying to show how when there are two people, one of whom makes posts which clearly come from just them, and the other who makes posts that appear to be a joint effort, attribution can get confused.
I originally registered under D&J as I use that name on other sites. Even though it says D&J it is only me doing the writing. Several months later Julie took an interest in the site and answered a few posts using D&J. However she always signed them Julie at the bottom(like you have suggested). I said this is confusing why don't you register yourself, which she did. So in reality D&J is me and JulieL is her. We don't always agree and we write for ourselves.
Fine, and now I know. Please don't be surprised though if at some point in the future somebody else thinks that "david and julie" are two people, not one.
The fact that D&J is 2 names is totally irrelevant. Your registered name can be anything, such as Masona, ban-all-sheds,FWL engineer, pipme, etc. They are not real names, they are just what people use for recognition purposes. There is no need for me to change it and any newcomers would assume we are different people anyway. D&J and JulieL are clearly different members.
They are different IDs, not necessarily owned by different members - internet fora and usenet groups have a long tradition of people adopting multiple identities.
The reply I made to Julie's post was not done out of nit-picking, or to cause trouble. It was done because I genuinely believed that posts made by "david and julie" had been made by David and Julie
I repeat, Julie speaks for herself, she has her own mind. I certainly wouldn't change it for B-A-S and give him, her,it(do buildings have a gender?)any satisfaction.
Doesn't bother me if you change it or not:

Thank you for making it clear that it's perfectly OK to treat posts by "david and julie" as though they are from you just as much as they are from Dave.
Of course! That's your choice!!
Now that I know, it would be pretty perverse for me to do that....
