if it had been alleged that Doug's ex-wife was my mole, well, I would've reacted differently
If a normal person tried to maintain the persona of the contemptible sfexpat2000, he would be risking his own mental health.
Not to mention her really stupid "lol" stuff.
That is just so stupid, and I can't be that stupid no matter how much I tried.
You know, as a favor to my fellow alum Skins, the old school tie and all that, I have on occasion mentioned clues as to the identity of this other person on Skins's island, but I suspect my fellow alum leaves me alone, because I don't cause him any trouble. The mole doesn't say much out in public (commenting and somesuch), because the purpose of this mole is to collect information via personal messages from primitives, not to comment or otherwise show off.
I don't think the mole causes my fellow alum to lose a minute's worth of sleep.
A few years ago, on freerepublic, I revealed that a long-time member of Skins's island, disgusted at Doug's ex-wife's stupid prank, had given me his/her screen-name as a gift to use any way I saw fit.
So the mole has been around a while.
Shortly thereafter, I purchased a new computer in the big city. But before bringing it home, I logged on to Skins's island, and instructed the computer expert there, "Okay, when I go to this place, and this place only, I don't want my real ISP (internet service provider) number to show up. I'm not fond of these things that mask or disguise ISP numbers, because the third of the Three Stooges running the place is a computer genius, and probably knows how to see through such things.
"I want something on here that permanently and automatically, whenever I go to this place, and this place alone, shows an ISP number that's not mine. I don't care which ISP number, just so it doesn't trace back to Nebraska. When I'm just there hanging around, 'lurking,' I don't care if it shows my real ISP number--but when I log on for in-depth research, it's important that a non-Nebraska ISP number shows up on Elad's computer."
The guy said he could do that, but I would have to leave the computer overnight before taking it home, which was okay by me. Whatever he did, obviously works. Or perhaps my fellow alum does know, but as I don't cause any problems, he lets it go. I don't press the matter.
So right now, we have two important clues as to the mole: (a) a long-time primitive screen-name, and (b) a non-Nebraska ISP number.
By the process of elimination, if one cuts out all primitives less than four years old, and cuts out all primitives with Nebraska ISP numbers, well, that narrows down the field, as to the identity.
Over time, in P-J Comix's most-excellent
DUmmie FUnnies, I've given other clues.
For example, I've mentioned that the mole never uses the word "bison" in any comments, as that would be a dead giveaway, given as to how much franksolich talks about bison.
By the process of elimination, if one cuts out all primitives less than four years old, cuts out all primitives with Nebraska ISP numbers, and cuts out all primitives who've ever used the word "bison," that narrows it down further.
And then another time, I mentioned that the mole never talks about Norway in any comments, as that too would be a dead giveaway, given as to how much franksolich talks about Norway.
By the process of elimination, if one cuts out all primitives less than four years old, cuts out all primitives with Nebraska ISP numbers, cuts out all primitives who've ever used the word "bison," and cuts out all primitives who've ever talked about Norway, that narrows it down further.
And then yet another time, I mentioned that the mole never never never mentions Clare Booth Luce, as that would be like a billboard with flashing lights, given as to how much franksolich has mentioned Clare Booth Luce.
By the process of elimination, if one cuts out all primitives less than four years old, cuts out all primitives with Nebraska ISP numbers, cuts out all primitives who've ever used the word "bison," cuts out all primitives who've ever talked about Norway, and cuts out all primitives who've ever mentioned Clare Booth Luce, well, by now surely we're down to just one primitive.
And that is the mole.
