Are you suggesting that there couldn't possibly be TWO people who have had the name of John Mytton since the 1800s?

Along those same lines, how about this farmer in Australia who has a name I'm kind of familiar with.

Of course there are more than one person named John Mytton. It just isn't the real name of the member on this forum using that name, and he has admitted as much.

As I've said since virtually day one, I use an alias and there is nothing wrong with that, but one person using multiple aliases is bit weird and especially when they are used to promote your own posts!

Who is using multiple aliases?

My father, born in 1908, had the unlikely name Alcide John Payette. When I began genealogical research, I was astonished to find, in Hawaii, the grave of Alcide John Payette, born in 1908. It wasn't my father. On the other hand, my father never felt the need to resort to sock puppets. If there is another Lance B. Payette (other than John Mytton, of course), I've never stumbled across him.

Apparently, I didn't. Despite being the same person, John and I have difficulty coordinating our responses.

Please, tell me you aren't this paranoid, mate. Are we witnessing an actual meltdown here, mate? Should you perhaps put another shrimp on your mental barbie, mate? G'day, mate, ya wacky drongo, I reckon it's about time I shoot through on this thread.

Unless you are the same person. Then you can do what you want.

What's this "mate"crap? I'm not English...

Who cares?
