You must prove you are the real Greg D.

Well Greg S, look at "member since" for starters.  But, I don't recall claiming to be the real Greg D.   Just the first.  Like a first ascent.  Is someone retro bolting my name?

MP Profile First/Last Names aren't unique, just like Real First/Last Names.

MP accounts have a unique account profile number. So Greg D, you can access your account page via:

or,

Thanks for showing me how to access my account after more than a decade of doing so.  

I didn't know duplicate names are possible.

Unique, that's a laugh. Being a asshat is typical.

ask tradiban, the FA of your user name is not important. hopefully we can get to a point on mountain project where we do away with user names entirely

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
