    That's odd, JB's green 'online' light goes off and yours comes on, then you post on here defending him. What a coincidence.

    In all honesty, this is an easy way to spot who's using two usernames.

    The forum leaves you logged in for about 10 mins after posting before your light goes grey. People who make a post then 30 secs later their light is out have physically had to hit the log off button, only to log back in 2 mins later to reply as seems to happen quite a bit. Yet they wouldn't have known you have replied as if they are logged out, they couldnt see the forum....but keep logging back in to reply to what you just posted....even though they couldnt see you had replied (unless logged in with another name).

    This is why we often get the two or three people all suddenly online to laugh at you at the same time, then logging back off after they laughed. It's the same person laughing at you and thanking themselves for laughing at you.

    Could be wrong, but I really couldnt be bothered logging in every time I wanted to reply, some are doing it several times in the space of 10 mins!

    Would drive me insane!!! Especially with the amount of gumph I bang into this place!

    you know too much about this subject young Graham... :rolleyes:
    Do you know how many times I have seen this line?? I come from Discussion Time and every single person using 2 names says the same thing as some form of innocence.

    IE for one, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari for the other.

    Simples.

    You protest too much.

    Is it normally so childish on here?

    Pretty much. Welcome to MSE, anyway.

    As opposed to which pair?

    Oh look, JB is taking the p iss out of someone. How original and humourous. Perhaps one day he'll add to the discussion about house prices, economy or the recession. Oh hold on, you need a brain for that.

    To be fair, if you're going to take the p*ss out of something, then it may as well be my spelling as it is pretty atrowshush.

    He wasn't really taking the p*ss anyway Harry, it was just a lighthearted remark. And from my point of view Mr Bravo adds a lot to ths discussion. Please kiss and make up.
