Okay, this is weirder and weirder. I found waterwren, but she was banned a long time ago. She was last active in 2008, in fact. I've never seen a glitch like this before. Even if you did log in as her, it wouldn't have let you post as her, because she's banned. When I look at the thread in question, I don't see any posts by waterwren, just snowdragon, and when Dotty quoted "Waterwren", the quote showed up (for me) as not being attributed to anyone. I had to scroll up and find that it says SnowDragon made the original quote. So, very very strange. But I'm going to go with "Forum Glitch" or "Gremlin"
MrsJWine, ah, now I see it. But when I follow that quote, it takes me to snowdragon's post. Huh

HuhI've seen that happen if a poster has chaged their name. Any post that is quoted will show the name they had at the time it was quoted. If they change their name, the left column will show their new name, but the quoted post will keep the old name.

I've never seen it happen in any other instance, though.
Is it possible that you bought a used computer that belonged to waterwren at one point?Or were posting using the same ISP and that registered as "waterwren" due to some arcane computer thing?
