It's evident they are one and the same so why use different names. Troll!!!

Findy's premise as everyone and everything being suspect IS absurd, along with her application of that premise, Lighthouse, or at least it is IMO.

Sowy,IMO,It would be more absurd to rule anything out.Unless of course your incapable of keeping an open mind.If I have missed a list of "non suspects" fill me in.

That is strange.
I just wish everyone would use one moniker. It much less confusing especially for newer posters.
I envy your knowledge of computers as I am a computer dummy.:)

Oh, Wowzy! I was just playing. My picture looked like yours
earlier!

When I checked in at lunchtime there were no names, and several posters in a row had Wowzer's duck avatar. I think topix is just screwed up today.
If David Blake really is posting here, I would like to ask -- any plans to release a Kindle edition of the book?

Me too! I looked like Wowzy! It must have had Wowzy's location because it wasn't mine.

Cursory inspection tells me that this poster is John Green, which is funny as he started another thread called "I <3 John Green".:)

Maruchan --

I just got an email asking if I was trolling Topix.

I will not outright accuse you of lying (maybe there is truly some "glitch"). But could you please take a screen shot so that I can see what you are seeing? Also, please identify the monikers that you have attributed to me.

Otherwise, we'll just have to find a way to expose the names and locations of each of the users.

Also, think before you make an accusation. If Blake is using a proxy then the fake Wowzer would most likely be using a proxy, as well. Both of their locations should have registered as US.
Moreover, "someuser's" last post implies that she is the fake Wowzer (and therefore Blake). She has been on Topix since 2010. If you look back, you will see that I started posting here in 2013. I doubt that you will find other users from Abington. So do you believe that I created a username, waited three years, and then began trolling?

Now that sounds more reasonable.

As I said, what I saw happened within a minute or so, the names and locations changed from the time I clicked in "previous", read a short post, and then clicked "last page" - it all changed and I didn't take screen shots. I refreshed the page several times and also tried using another browser just to see if it would show the glitch, but it didn't. I am not lying, I don't lie about this stuff.

I referred to other monikers because it appeared you used "Anonymous" instead of "Sam Ledyard." You are the only person on this Topix thread whose posts show as Abington, MA.

"Otherwise, we'll just have to find a way to expose the names and locations of each of the users."

And here we go with another threat from the Green camp to out the identities of Topix posters. Such nice people.

You're right; that is how I sounded. I apologize.

All that I can say is that I have never posted here using a moniker. Someuser suggested that erroneous locations were shown. So that must have been the case.

Again, I apologize. I agree with Wowzer (the real one); everyone should just post under one name. It will prevent confusion. And you should just report trolls from now on.

I'll try to be polite here. If you've read through this forum you would know that there are some here that aren't quite right in the noggin.
To expose anyone's name or location would be quite dangerous for that person IMO. We've gone through this crap here before about outing posters identities or locations. If that's the type of person that you are then this will be my last post to you.
YOU DON'T OUT ANYONE'S NAME OR LOCATION ON A PUBLIC INTERNET FORUM!!! It's just not the right thing to do.

You're right. I overreacted, and I take it back.

I fully agree that people who wish to be anonymous should stay anonymous.

I am usually better about handling situations rationally, and I made a mistake.

Thank you, Sam. It takes a big person to admit when their wrong. Take my advice and don't become like Green.

Never thought I would say this, but I kinda miss Trolls R Us, at least he was honest about his identity - a troll calling himself a troll.

Due to various quantum fluxes in the atmosphere around Neptune, my full-time position at NASA has been reduced to part-time- thus freeing up more time to interact with the less-gifted un-evolved creatures here on Topix. Like I dubiously predicted, my analytic skills have been sorely missed; the posts recently have gave me a rare case of the bends. Any retorts to my clearly logical assertions should be forwarded to my new blog SMUGFOOKFACE.COM .

Too much of my life is "e"...there will be no Kindle edition, but hope you will enjoy the physical edition. Let me know if you do -- I'll send you a bumper sticker.
