eDoppelgänger?

It was probably a presumptuous notion, but I believed I was still the only person hanging about online using the splorp moniker. Well, I was wrong. I assure you that this is not me. For one, I don’t post to slashdot. Secondly, I’m damn sure never to have a section of my site dedicated to freeware Windows registry editors. Additionally, even though we do have pair of melopsittacus undulatus amidst the inhabitants of our home, our budgies are not prone to vampirism as is this so-called Drusilla. Legally, I could probably make some point that there is the potential for undue consumer confusion by associating the splorp brand name with two distinct sites. Fortunately, there’s enough cosmetic and content-related distinctions between my site and his to eliminate any disorientation of the casual viewer. And there’s no real point to a cease and desist mentality. The internet is certainly big enough for the both of us. Besides, I’ve been at it this game a heck of a lot longer than this harmless charlatan and his fine feathered friend. I have tenure.
