well i have noticed that there are two ways you are spelling your handle.  either your personalities have gone their seperate ways or...? :)
    you are just trying to keep pace because different folks spell it different ways?

The difference between gray and grey is primarily the difference between British and U.S. preference, the words are the same.  See plow, plough; aluminum, aluminium; mold, mould; and so on.

I've always spelled it GRAY but we actually own both Domains, i.e., Graybeardoutdoors.com and Greybeardoutdoors.com.

Should you input the first you go directly to the Home Page. Should you input the latter you're taken directly to the Forums Index but both get you here.

I've been posting as Graybeard and thought I had the name Greybeard blocked but recently found out it wasn't when someone else decided to registered at GBO as Greybeard.

Needless to say I can't have another Graybeard on here regardless of spelling as you guys need to KNOW when you see the name it is me posting. So after deleting his registration I changed my old Marshal Graybeard account to the name of Greybeard. I'm also GBOMGMT at times. Yeah I have a split personality.  :-D

The real reason is that some times I have but a few minutes to log on and read or respond. Most times the way I look for what's new is to click the link to read what's new since last visit. If I just visited a short while back and didn't get to check them all if I use same name to log back in I don't see all of what was new then. So I change up names from time to time. I'll usually use the GREY name or the GBOMGMT name when I know I'll only be on a short time and the Graybeard name when I plan to be here a good long while. Most posting is done as Graybeard but I do post under all three.

Now ya know.
