I KNOW this wasn't you - because I was in a pub talking to you when that was posted. This therefore leaves... who?

H.

Your bitch, skulking in the corner with an online phone? (I'd mention a name, but I wouldn't want to violate privacy... )

No idea, to be honest. I half-suspect Shazz, but that's just betting on the form...

-Lucinda

Nah, we don't own (and can't afford!) such cool toys as a phone that could do that, and in any case by that time of the evening HB (that could catch on...) was so drunk I'd be surprised if she could have successfully made a phone call, let alone done whatever you would have had to have done to have posted that. Could you even post something that long from a phone? I run out of space for text messages after about two sentences, and you can imagine how that vexes a verbose bugger like me.

Shazz... could be. Except, inconveniently, she has exactly the same alibi because she was in the same room as you and me, and I couldn't see *anyone* there with any kind of online connection. But hey... here's a theory. Did you notice that your friend and mine the very lovely and not at all sarcastic ANNA was suspiciously absent from the evening gathering...?

Means - check. Motive - hmm. Opportunity - check. Whaddya think?

H.

btw, I'm guessing you've spotted U198392 ?

I'll tell you what's funny - Seeing ACEs give their 'personal greetings' to these spoof accounts, and those greetings being *identical* to every other greeting they've ever given. Some ACEs do make an effort, of course, but others... *shakes head in despair*

-Martin

The paradox is that some ACEs *could* be replaced by an AI...

*waves at U290*

You'd think people would do some work rather than listening to idle banter by a couple of reprobates, wouldn't you?

Actually, that goes for me too, so I'd better sign off

-Martin

If people will keep drawing the Editors attention to things like this via email, then they can't expect us not to take an interest. And I was working, so there. It's taken me all this time to come and catch up with what you're doing Lu.

Re U198392: Things are getting a bit carried away.

Some people have too much time on their hands. Is this Mike, or whoever it was who claimed to have programmed Steve?

Me? - I am going on a hypnosis course at the end of the summer.

... You are feeling very relaxed ... getting sleepy ... your eyes are closing and you are safe and comfortable ...
