Someone has stolen my name.

[Chrissi]

In case you didn't know (and most people don't), in some online places I'm known as Chrissi, but I usually use Rediahs. Rediahs is a word that came entirely out of my own typo-prone fingers.

Someone else online is using the name "Rediahs". Now, before I started to use the name, I checked google to make sure nobody else was. I found not a single match for it.

They don't seem very smart, either... if you search google for "Rediahs" yourself you'll know what I mean. All but two of those matches are that person. The only ones (currently, as of Sept 7 2004) that are me are that Oekaki place, and Diagon Alley forum.

Now the thing is, I know it didn't just pop out of their own head. There are 8 billion different 7-letter letter combinations, and as far as I can see, Rediahs is just as random as the rest.

Now I don't know what to do I chose Rediahs because it was completely and entirely original. Rediahs is me. I am Rediahs. No one else. But now I find out someone else is using it???

Does anyone know what I should do? I can't figure out how the person should be contacted, and I wouldn't even know what to say.. "Hey yo, stop using my name!" doesn't sound very... good.

I'm thinking they probably saw me using it in Diablo or Conquer (some games I play) and thought "Oh that's a cool name" and started using it.

I feel so viiiii'ahlated.
