Aw, crap. Take one stinkin’ day off and look what happens.

Question #1 - Are you female?  
Question #2 - Is there an “e” in your regular user name?  
Question #3 - Do you have more than 500 posts under your regular name?  
Question #4 - Does your profile list your location as east of the Mississippi River?

That should get me started.

I hope Question #1 is “yes” or I fear a Jenny Jones type tragedy…

Those questions will get you nowhere Uncle. Se, if I were to answer them:

1: No.  
2: Yes.  
3: Yes.  
4: Yes.

Well, the fact that she’s got an “e” shoots my guess of ChrisCTP down (and I really thought I was on to something-Byzantine! Ha! An obvious piece of counter-intelligence, meant to throw me off the trail, Chris!).

And I thought it might be Canthearya, but I’ve noticed that she always bolds usernames, and IHeart doesn’t.

So, Uncle B, I await your next questions, in hopes of sharpening my Encyclopedia Brown skills.

I will accept guesses from UncleBeer only. 🙂

If he really wants to waste his questions asking ones like “Are you Byzantine?” that’s up to him.
