  I try to sign in on some sites so I can post messages using my WordPress username but they don’t let me sign on but say ‘You don’t own that identity.’ How do I correct this issue? It occurs on many sites.

  This would happen if you are logged into one account and try to comment under the username of a different account.

  Could that have been what happened?

  That must be a Blogger blog that you are referring to and the blogspot.com software is not recognizing your identity. This is a very common issue.

  Thanks, timethief
  I should have said “This might happen if…” instead of “would.”

  @ timethief,
  Let’s reframe “obsessive” as “enthusiastic.” (-̮̮̃-̃)
