I think I am too concrete. I didn't know that someone(s) had changed their name/handle for the longest time and I get quite confused(plus I think there are more changes than I am aware of). I've wondered what happened to a few people. I'm not even sure if I'm right about who has changed names. Do I need to wonder how they are doing when I don't see them but they're really there, just called something else. Not sure if this makes sense, which mioght also help define why I can't replace the new with the old.
I worry that it's my age. I feel a bit like a substitute teacher where the kids have ganged up on the sub to give her a hard time, changing seats(names).
I know there are people that I used to know who have stopped posting as well as some people I thought weren't posting any more when in reality they just took on a second identity. Like you, Shar, I remember the board from years ago. Time and needs of groups of people do change. And I do to or at least I should adapt. But name changes....For a long time, ti never occured to me that that happemed. I have been incredibly confused at times, expecially lately and longed to be on PB 2000 'cause I could count on knowing who was who.
oh well.....
