I like detective games.
Lessee, the original LiK took care with spelling and grammar and only had outlandish stuff on big bore bullet weights and personal performance - his search engine work was very good. LiKV2.0 had excellent presentation only when doing a direct copy/paste from LiKV1.0 and posted whacko stuff from the onset. LiKV1.0 would never suggest taping a mouse pad to a comb to adjust headspace.
However, the original LiK also ended the ordeal on an April 1. Coincidence? But who other than the original would benefit from spoofing IPs? If the first was intended as a 4/1 sendup, saying so would have been chancy at that point. Methinks if V1.0 was patient enough to wait 4 years he'd wait another year so a "recollection" thread wouldn't be running simultaneously.
It could be me but I made the mistake of posting simultaneous with inky this AM. I think that means I can't be him or I need to update my computer skills resume.
Vanya was the first to point out that sniperinky was dropping muffins in other parts of the board - hmmm. But I guess there's nothing particularly wrong with being more alert than all the rest of us in the "sillies" thread.
Mal H. was egging him on but who says mods can't have a little fun with the rest of us? Never mind that many applications of super heated steam require a nuclear reactor upstream. That poor 11-87...
Conventional wisdom would hold that the poster proclaiming the greatest degree of indignation over the episode would be suspect but I'm not prepared to poke that hornet's nest - and I never believed that conventional wisdom anyway.
WildAlaska is always on deck for speculation but he'd have to hire Spiff to spoof the IP. ("Spiffy the spoofer" - I like that.)
Hogdogs claimed to have gotten a PM from a mod counseling waiting. Therein might lie a clue but would require permission to divulge - the "P" in "PM" being what it is and all.
Edited to add: Krezyhorse fessed up. Not even on my list.
Then again, it is still 4/1, is it not?
