+geognerd Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 There have been times when I was walking back to the car and wondered if I accidentally signed the log with my username for other websites instead of "geognerd." Anyone ever mistakenly sign with the wrong name or their real name? Quote Link to comment

bogleman Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I did it once right after work. I signed in with my "work" name. Signed several nano micros with initials. Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Since I use the same user name for every website I've ever joined, it isn't a problem. OT: I've joined so many websites over the years, that I forgot many of them. Sometimes I go to register and find that I'm already there. Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Since I use the same user name for every website I've ever joined, it isn't a problem. Ditto, I even will respond to my username like it was my first name. I think I'd have more trouble introducing myself as "Airmapper" instead of my real name. Hey Brian, I found you on a Kayaking site I visit. Quote Link to comment
wandat24 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I have a habbit of putting the wrong date on the first one or two I do.... Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Actually.. I've been calling myself Harry Dolphin for ten or fifteen years. Back when 'handles' were used on Bulletin Boards. Sometimes I think that more people know me as Harry than by my real name. A lot of geocachers are surprised to hear that my name isn't really Harry. Nope. Never siged a cache with my real name.

salmoned Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I just changed my name, so I can honestly say I've signed every find with some other name. Quote Link to comment
+Woodbutcher68 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I know what my name is...Got it written on my underwear and socks so I don't forget it! Quote Link to comment
+alexrudd Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 My real name is just a few letters longer than my caching name, and I just add/subtract an extra letter or number when "alexrudd" is taken. The only cache I logged with my real name was the one I first stumbled across in the woods. Quote Link to comment
+Relic Hounds Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 My partner useually signs the logs and ive gone back to caches to look in the log and noticed that he had us as relic hunters, rock hounds, rock hunters just to name a few Quote Link to comment
4wheelin_fool Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I'll write the date, enter a few comments about the search, note what was traded (if anything), and then get ready to put the logbook back in the cache and notice that....... I have completely forgotten to write my username(or any username) Then I get my pen out again and try to scrawl in "4wheelin_fool" somehow where it doesn't look like I had forgotten it....

I've done this.....So, I just started putting my name at the end anyways (well most the time), then I put the date (Hopefully I remember the date, sometimes I do sometimes I'm off by a few days..a week once.....), then I lightly outline what I put down.

+Pablo Mac Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I've never signed a log with any other alias, but I have been accused of being schizophrenic before. And so have I. Quote Link to comment
stipey2 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Once I found a cache and seemed to think that I was Margaret Thatcher when it came to signing the logbook. It was only when I got back home that I remembered that I wasn't. Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I used to work with a ministry that required us to send out "Thank you" letters to our financial contributors once a month. One month I quickly signed the letters, sealed them in envelopes and turned them in to the receptionist, only to come back later and rip them all open..... Yup...I had signed every one of them, "God bless! CYBret"...just like I do the cache logs. Quote Link to comment
+Cryptid Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) I use a stamp I had made to sign logs, so it's hard to sign the wrong name. But once I did toss it into the log's Zip-loc bag by accident, and didn't notice till I got to the next cache, I had to go back and get it. Edited April 25, 2006 by Cruiserdude Quote Link to comment
+One of the Texas Vikings Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I usually sign my name: 527 BLJ I recently change my name to that, so I could have personalized license plates. Quote Link to comment

Anyone ever mistakenly sign with the wrong name or their real name? Yeah, just the other day I signed one: "Wow, what a piece of #(&%^#%& cache this is. Yours, geognerd" Edited April 27, 2006 by ParrotRob Quote Link to comment

+sbell111 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 When I first started caching, it was somewhat common to see people sign a log with both their real name and their 'handle'. Quote Link to comment
+Kevel Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I get my name right in the logs all the time. But many times I have written emails and notes to people and I sign them with my Geoname. Quote Link to comment
+geognerd Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Yeah, just the other day I signed one: "Wow, what a piece of #(&%^#%& cache this is. Yours, geognerd" Gee, thanks. If I ever visit my friend in Baltimore, I'll make sure to make a special trip out to visit your cache. Then you can see how the authentic version of that log looks! Quote Link to comment

+GPSOkie Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 OT: I've joined so many websites over the years, that I forgot many of them. Sometimes I go to register and find that I'm already there. I am SO glad that I am not the only one to do that ! Quote Link to comment
+Adrenalynn Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I'm more for the random date. My first few caches had a different username that I've used for years - but I hadn't tried to register it yet, and it was taken... I've taken to going to the Info screen on my GPS and checking the date and time before signing now. How the %^#$ should I know what date it is? That's the problem with not working "standard work weeks" anymore. Quote Link to comment

Honestly I think my BIGGEST problem is while I'm typing i tend to spell it wandat24 or wndt24 when writing i have to stop and think at times. Atlest I didn't use my maiden name (which since I'm married would just be wrong). It's German and I was in 3rd grade before I could even spell it Edited April 28, 2006 by wandat24 Quote Link to comment
