I always get freaked out when someone comes here, is clearly familiar with board history and me, yet the name is new. It makes me very nervous. It makes me very wary. It makes me feel at a disadvantage. And other things that are difficult to put in I statements.

I think a new start would include giving up the ability to claim familiarity.

I really am not sure why anyone who is well known someplace would choose that way to make a new start, not to others in the place they're well known. There are other ways to make new starts. I've made a few here at Babble, and so have others. It took a while for people to see me differently, and maybe some never did, but...

It's kind of like a Mrs. Doubtfire situation, you know? Even though he pretended to be unfamiliar with the family, he still was able to operate with all his previous knowledge of the people involved, while they didn't have that privilege.
