Hmmm... I suppose I don't even think of it. Terrence uses numerous
sobriquets, but I usually know immediately when it's him, and I think of him
only as "Terrence," despite the odd variations in posting styles.

The other main list that I take an active membership in is the Robyn
Hitchcock list, "Fegmaniax."  There are a few people there who go through
numerous screen-names as a matter of course -- so I suppose I'm used to it.
I for one used to be "LordArioch at aol.com" back in the day.

The only thing that vexes me is when people try to harm other people by
taking fake names to conceal their real persona, and then repeatedly lie
that this is not the case. To the best of my knowledge, Terrence does not do
this. I am actually rather fond of his different "masks."
