WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
 
Dear Eslprintable members:

I need your help .... And PLEASE do not take it the wrong way:

But what are the odds of three different members from different countries having the same name as mine (REAL ONE)? (America, France and Hong Kong)

Is it a coincidence? Maybe!? I just want to emphasize that such coincidence might be misleading and close my account as "ascincoquinas".

Thanks in advance.

Hi dear, when I checked with "search by users" this only account appeared. Where did you find the others ? By the same way or how else ? Have you checked their accounts ? Have they got points ? What kind of worksheets do they have ? Hugs. Maryse.

@ dear Maryse:

As far as I know I am the only one with the nickname "ascincoquinas".

My doubt is that when I downloaded the ws I referred above My real name appears on the "properties"..... on three different ws.

I am not sure if I have been clear.... So I will send you a PM Maryse.

Well I googled both ascincoquinas and as cinco quinas and there were a zillion hits. Maybe it is not such an unusual name after all?

Hi ascincoquinas
 
Do you mean that you found three worksheets with the same user name that you have in the properties of your worksheets?
 
If yes, then that means someone has opened your worksheet and then perhaps changed the content when making their own worksheet, instead of opening a blank document.  So in essence, they have modified the original worksheet.  Many people do it but it is a better practice to start from a blank document.
 
If this is the case, you can easily remove your name (and protect your privacy) by removing your details from the properties by using the Inspect document tools in the Prepare for sharing tools in the Info tab.
 
Cheers

Hi Ascincoquinas,

I agree with Jayho, we have the possibility of using a worksheet �s template as a base for a new one so perhaps this is how your name appears in the properties.  Your account can �t be closed unless you are going against the rules, which is not the case.

 As long as someone is not uploading YOUR original worksheet, that would be called "stealing" and you would have to report him/her.
