echo(%who @ "=" @ getTaggedString(%obj.name));
                        if (%obj.getClassName()$="GameConnection")
                             echo(%who @ "=" @ getTaggedString(%obj.name));
                           if  (trim(%who) $=  trim(getTaggedString(%obj.name)) )
                           {    
                                 echo(%who @ "=" @ getTaggedString(%obj.name));
console.log
Poser=Poser
Poser=Poser

You could always try...
echo(%obj.getClassName());
Just to check what it really is.

I hearby dub LabRat SUPREME scripting GOD..
the answer is:
stripchars(detag(getTaggedString(%obj.name)),"\cp\co\c6\c7\c8\c9")

Hrrm, so those of us on the sidelines, is that stripchars there because control codes are added to the tagged string? And they don't show upon the echo, but are still present and therefore are throwing off the string compare?

Hmm, anyway to show a string without parsing those control codes?

Yah, this thing was driving me nuts last night..I tried everything (trim, detag, gettaggedstring..) except stripchars that is.. :)

Thanx to everyone who helped..
