    Don't complain - rewired is someone who likes your posts.

    It's not as if they're criticising you is it.

    I have no idea who rewired is, but as they thank mine too, I will assume they are a person of great intelligence, taste and discretion. :)

    Or someone who likes to get erm... lets say excited by any bearish post and gets through 12 boxes of tissues a week. :)

    rewired thanks ALL my posts too and I post some pretty ridiculous stuff, so I'm also very intrigued to know who it is. :confused:

    I thought it was NDG, and said so on a thread a few months back, but was PMed by one of the regulars and told it was !!!!!!? (the PM explained that !!!!!!? was a prolific (bear) poster back in the depths of time who fell out with the bulls and stopped posting on the site, but still lurked. When Martin made us invisible to the outside world, !!!!!!? had to create a new username so he could still lurk).

    The rewired creation date tallies with the date we were made invisible (I think) and the logic fits (rewired is extremely bearish in his thanks) so maybe it's him?

    All I know is that I've received thanks from rewired and if it is a former member who is refraining from posting, then all power to him/her because I don't think I'd have the willpower to lurk on here and not contribute. :)

    I don't think it's !!!!!!?. He rarely used to thank my posts when he was around so to suddenly change once he'd been banned makes no sense.

    And I doubt very much he'd thank yours either, Harry. We all know his views on a certain poster whom you strongly resemble.

    !!!!!! wasn't banned, anyway - he just left because he got fed up.

    Do you mean DD? What were his views about DD?

    EDIT> Out of interest, how do I 'resemble' someone on a text based internet forum?

    I didn't say he was banned, I said he fell out with some bulls (was DD a bull?) and stopped posting. Ah, I think you were actually responding to Snooze. :o
