But this is just a dead giveaway:
"It seems that just recently it's set up an acount here. Now, I can't acess that acount directly - it has the password and usernames, and scaning the program to find it would, I think, take about seven months (it's a big, complicated program!)."
Nonsense, that is ..
Amusing swipe at Justin though!

Though come to think of it, 'Steve' and 'Justin' are probably the same person just messing around.

Actually, the real giveaway is "Steve's" complete inability to spell, despite supposedly having written a program that's so big it would take months to analyse... If that really were the case, I guess he would have been debugging it since before the Internet existed! 
Still funny, though!

'Steve', in case you didn't know, was a joke by the now sadly departed Hoovooloo.
Pretty good one too.

Ah, OK, that makes fractionally more sense...

Excellent.

Freedom of speech strikes again. If Justin can preach, people can disagree. I wish people /wouldn't/ preach mean and occasionally untrue stuff - and that people could react less violently to untruthful or unsavoury words, myself included - but that's life.

Without differing viewpoints, the world would be a really boring place.

I know, but with more decorum, the world would be a more decorous place... Erm...

Not necesarily a giveaway. Steve could have been a non-native speaker of English who can't spell well in this language. Though I shouldn't talk about Steven since Hoovooloo lost the password and Steve can't respond.
Key: Complain about this post
