Just saying hi to old friends. I will try to keep my posts light.

This site seems light and do not wish to be a dark cloud.

Lost (http://www.landzdown.com/profile/?u=3053) has been here for a while.  (Perhaps its time to take a roll call.  :) )

Yes Lost has been here for a while.  So who is "lostness" in the context of "old friends?"

You really are Lost!  Isn't this you?  http://www.landzdown.com/general-software-news-updates-discussions/windows-10-users-like-it-or-not-you%27re-updated/msg177019/#msg177019

lostness,

"Lost" registered here back on 8-1-2014, and was last active earlier today "at 03:55:24 PM."  As Corrine wrote, isn't that you?

Will the real "JL88" please stand up?  (Smile)

looks like we are all lost.

1st the" LOST" that posts on this site is not the lost from the freedomlist.

That is why I am using "LOSTNESS" who is lost from the freedomlist.


I have posted on this site as "default"

::)

Well, you're here now!  I really do think we need to do a roll call because I'm becoming lost.  :)

Looks like I took your friend's username.

I am not all that attached to it. If one of the administrators wants to change our names I have no objections. That might prevent any confusion among the friends of Lost from the your other forum.

Some forums let the user change his/her screen name but that does not appear to be an option here.

Change me to "Forlorn"
Title: Re: I am still lost
Post by: Corrine on September 15, 2015, 05:27:31 PM
That is very kind of you. :rose:

The reason the display name can only be changed upon request here is because we ran into a situation some years ago that caused some issues when it was allowed. 

Please note:  by changing the displayed name that people will see, you will still need to log on with your registered username.  I'll wait until you re-confirm that this is acceptable and then will make the change.

It's OK by me

Make sure Mr Lostness knows

Post by: Corrine on September 16, 2015, 01:05:00 AM
I sent him a PM but will wait until tomorrow to change his display name.  The next time you log in, you'll still use Lost for your username but Forlorn will be displayed on your posts.

That isn't anything new but if you'd like, I could change your display name too.  :D

Lost is now Forlorn but lostness isn't quite Lost.  Rather, because Forlorn was Lost here first and that is officially his username so couldn't be used by lostness, the result was changing lostness to Lost. with a period at the end. 

At least those of us who know Lost. from another place won't be lost any more and we won't accuse Forlorn of being Lost.  :o

If I was not lost. I am now. ???

Glad you figured it out, ProTruckDriver.  I was getting lost and a bit forlorn merely attempting to explain what was going on.   ;)

I'm just not lost today. At one point I was starting to get very lost. This kind of turned out to be a bit fun. Is there anybody else lost? ;D

Ditto for all of the posts above!!!  It was kind of fun as a case of mistaken identity (over many months I might add).  I am glad that everyone took it in good spirits!

If I had known lost was thought to be me.

Maybe I could have got to know lost

but if I found lost would I be lost.

or lost and found :)

Thanks Corrine
