with a not-Zeldman using Kinja. While I agree that it’s annoying, and in that particular case I think Kinja should definitely take down the pretend user, if it were another person with another username, I’m not so sure that it’s clear what should be done. BTW there is a “mikel” over there, but it’s Mikel Maron, a perfectly legitimate user of the name I also use throughout the web. Does either one of us have a claim to the name? I don’t think so.

hi Mikel!
If we’re going to survive together online, we better start cooperating. My idea:
Don’t really use that kinja account. Maybe we can start swapping mikel registrations?! I see you have an inactive del.icio.us/mikel. A swap?
Mikel is highly valued. mikel.net is for sale .. $1200.
