Has either of those screen names been involved in drama? On my mommy boards, people take out fake screen names to say extremely crappy things anonymously to eachother... until they learn what an "IP" is, lol.

I'm willing to wait for an explanation before I take off running with my theory though, lol. Perhaps he just got a new screen name or something?

Meanlittlemy is Tracy, not Fish. She was probably logged in when he posted and so he reposted under his name. Dunno if you guys want to edit your posts or not.
