This is WAY off subject, so just ignore this, but :

1.  My name is Ben Parrish.
2.  The guy who wrote the initial post in this thread is named Paul Robinson.
3.  We are at the same internet provider.
4.  I had had problems for several months with it calling me someone 
ELSE's name (which changed on a daily basis.)
5.  We just fixed that problem two days ago.
6.  Now Paul's posts are showing up as me.
7.  I sold Paul a computer a few months ago.

The irony is so thick that I have to drop to the floor to keep breathing 
normally...
