<<The Real Cisco!<g> I think?>> Actually, since you are not the earliest Cisco, based on member dates, I believe you are scheduled for termination at some point. I think Brad said they were eventually going to get rid of duplicates, and the earliest member would get to keep the alias.

I can take a stab at it, though I doubt it will ease your mind very much. the first Cisco, you, start your handle with a capitol "C". The second uses a small "c", and the third guy was a visitor. Now, there's a whole other can of worms when someone does an SI search for "Cisco", they get the same results as if they searched for "cisco" FWIW, I have another of the same example for you. Here we have "Casper", who is a member Member 3354997, And then, there's "casper", another member Member 4301817. And now for something more of a twist. About a year ago, this guy shows up as a visitor: Member 4472614. And the day after his "trial membership" expires, I get a private from a "visitor" with the name "Casper". No relationship to the other caspers. I can't find him in my peoplemarks anymore(and a search only shows the two I linked), but I have printed and saved that private. I'm looking at it right now. Dated Apr. 26 1998 12:44pm from: Casper(Trial Member). I even have the PM#, but Jill told me a while back that they get deleted after I think it was 60 days
