I'm still not convinced that he hasn't posted using pseudonyms. I'm inclined
to trust Terrance's knowledge of the truth of the matter, as well as the
circumstantial evidence. Doug still hasn't really answered the question,
merely evaded it with a lot of noise and insults and lies against other
contributors; but as I've said all along, who really cares? I'm not losing
any sleep over it, and he's his own worst enemy. His credibility level is
now somewhere less than zero. One benefit is that if he has been posting
using different names and from different email accounts in order to cause
disruption and hurt, then the future effectiveness of that little ploy has
been severely curtailed.
