Name that poster!

So, how much of an unerring sense of each other are we getting here? We all know that each of us has a unique on-line personality, but just how distinctive are we?

Well, here is a simple test... see if you can guess who I am quoting here, from threads long past.

First one is easy...

"Well, I appear to be the guy who always sits there waiting for a girl to turn up and giving out vast amounts of worrying facts and data. But I'm not a postman."

Bonus marks for giving the situation...

Must be the Ush Master himself, waiting for Edna. As usual.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here....its....you !!!

I'm not gonna go for the bonus, I've got enough studying to do tonight for a test tomorrow morning....you think I have all night to spend here ? 😂

Yup! That was an easy one of course. It was duyring Edna's first break from the forum and someone had just said I reminded them of Cliff Clavin.

Ok, see if you can recognise this poster's distinctive style...

"So it can get pretty personal in here. I guess that nice. Personally I never have secrets. Anything anyone ever asks, I answer, simply on the grounds that there is no reaon to lie. If a person has done or said something they should have good reason to have done so in the first place. As I say I'm not sure I know enough people around here but it is always my basic rule, it is better to lay your cards on the table and then people get a better idea of who and how you are. Then again you ask Ush and he'll tell you... "

I'm guessing RC.

Afraid not...

Me too.

It's not one of the 'front-line' posters

Ah, then I think it's Zereil or Xizor.

"front line"....you mean core ?

I'll go with....finti ?

Queeq has it! That's Zereil, being completely off-kilter as normal.

This one SHOULD be easy:

"Since you ask, no he hasnt! I have been punishing him for what he did to Derek earlier today. He stole his finger and wedged it deep down in the fuel converter for the hyperdrive on my ship. I wasnt impressed. I had to dismantle the whole thing to get it out. Wasted hours of my time! he'll never do it again!"

Piece of cake: Edna.

Ditto.

That was from my first conversation with her...

Ok, let's move things up a gear.

"That's too bad about it hurting your eyes EJ...but I'm glad that you're going to be on here more...I tend to like posting over here better. I get tired of reading the same moronic theories all the time...not to mention that some of them are really rude...Like how many times do we need to go over what would happen to SW if GL died...Like it would matter..THE MAN WOULD BE DEAD!!!...*sigh*..sorry, that just gets me a little hot under the collar...I mean, come on...he's only 55 or something like that...it's not like he's 70...okay, I'll shut up now."

Ah that one was easy! But who was i talking about?

To answer Ush : Merc ?

No, maybe a Merc line later though...

And can anyone answer Edna's question? I can, of course, but then I just looked it up...

That wasntyour first conversationwith me! I started talking to you way before Derek came along. I remember our first conversation! You told me I belonged here in the clouds remember!

Same thread, dear...

No thederek convo was in the bar. The cloud thing was elsewhere but I cant remember where
now. Too long ago!
