How do you know you've been around these forums too long ?
A few minutes ago, I was writing a business e-mail to a customer in Germany, and I signed "Aredhran" instead of my real name... Fortunately, I saw it just before I pressed the "SEND" button
Aredhran
(Still laughing as I imagine what the guy's reaction would have been... )

Probably "A red H ran? What the hell is this?"
Oh wait. He's in Germany, right? So it would be "Ein rotes h lief? Was ist die H�lle diese? Was Art des Fallhammers stellte ich an?" (Literally: "A red h ran? What is hell this? Which type of the drop hammer I employed?")

I've done similar, though signing my emails professionally is not as far off from signing the forum posts. But I almost sent out my resume to another manager and signed it Goob...

When you get up to posting more in one day than yin's total.

By the way, this is not an obsession with yin, I really did this.

Actually, he just hit the "Submit Reply" button 520 times.

I almost did that once... it was worse because my addresss was [email protected] (now it's [email protected]). Also, on a science test I wrote that a whale has a borehole instead of blowhole. Fortunately, the teacher was very undrestanding (that's why it pays to go easy on some people in MP )

When you're driving home in the evening you keep on thinking of what you forgot to post b4 quitting and you must remember to post tomorrow, and you miss the highway exit.

when you start calling your wife Miriam and your girlfriend Deidre.......and every girl on the freeway looks like that Spartan chick!

When you are watching Joan de Arc on TV and you keep thinking dam* if only Miriam were 17 and hot like that...
My wife kept saying she couldn't act but I didn't notice.

I did it again ! Only this time I actually realized it a tad too late, right after clicking the send button
Fortunately, it was sent to a coworker, not a customer... So a little embarassing explanation and that was it.
