While this isn't a phenomenon I've encountered personally yet, it's one I expect to encounter in the future, because my filing system works in much the same way -- and not only must someone do or be something vaguely noticeable before I can distinguish them from the faceless mass of the rest of a newsgroup, sometimes vague noticeabilities will accrete in inaccurate ways. I still have a hard time telling Mary Kuhner, Zeborah, Irina Rempt and Elizabeth Shack apart, despite the fact that I respect each of them.
