This has been done before.  I thought Antigen had put a stop to it.

Just out of curiosity I'd like to know how it's possible to create another identical username...?

It's not. But you can make up names that appear the same in certain fonts. So I changed the font. TNR is a little harder to read, I think, but at least it doesn't make capital I's look just like lower case L's.

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.

Right, after the fact I thought that this font/charachter thing had to be it but I was still stumped...I saw no two characters that looked the same (I compared ones and lower case l's...) when checking out the member list for any revelations concerning the similarities of characters.. :em:

I meant to write it (that should read) like this:
Ones and lowercase L's  [what I compared to no avail]
