- felixgallo 11y agobecause it's his account. Look at his posting history, if you like. Or ask him on twitter, where, like here, he's @rvirding.
- rdtsc 11y agoBecause it is ... ? How do we know pg's account is used by a real person, or dang's, maybe they are all aliens, or robots, who knows...
- cbd1984 11y ago> How do we know pg's account is used by a real person Long history here. > or dang's Long history, plus a history of apparently being able to do things normal users can't do. Plus, of course, dang doesn't claim to be anyone famous, merely a mod of this discussion forum. You can't impersonate someone who's only famous for being able to do maintenance-type things around here: If you can do those things, you're a mod, and if you can't, nobody cares.
