the need to impersonate

[jbor]

In the same vein, then, I'd imagine that a certain dude might feel obliged
to set the record straight with that certain editor, now that the jig is
well and truly up. Unless, of course, that certain dude has been complicit
all along. (Cato? ... )

Terrance is right. It's easy enough to spot once you know what it is you're
looking at, and you've been right on the money. But there's probably always
going to be a small margin of error.

best wishes, Paul
