[WikiEN-l] Irate impersonating me on IRC

Sun May 15 23:13:55 UTC 2005

John Bradley clearly has a level of intelligence and can probably read what
we're writing right now. I'm sure that Bradley could easily attempt to
deceive us by checking every message to omit all typos, in order to try to
make The Number not look like its him. With a matching IP (apparantely) and
trolling background, I wouldn't be so sure it isn't him.

Its easy to impersonate someone just by using a spell checker, and we all
know impersonation is his specialist subject. ;)
