That only fits half the clue, I’m afraid - keep guessing! 😉

5-4Fighting - the two Jerrys question was withdrawn by its poster, because it didn’t fit the game rules.  
Outstanding:  
“Do you go to Purgatory for impersonating a moderator?”  
“Who would I ask about keeping my produce department’s vegetables fresh?”  
“Who goes on stage to decide his fate in future existences?”

Plus 5-4’s latest.

That was **lno** , wasn’t it, many moons ago? … But I guess you couldn’t deduce it from his user name, which I think is why **koeeoaddi** withdrew the question …

**Auntie Em**.

The answer to **Bambi Hassenpfeffer** ’s query is **BiblioCat**.

I’d like to suggest **UncleBeer** as an alternate answer to the “Swampbear’s favorite potent potable” question, especially if **UB** is burly and bearing cookies. 😃

Which poster hosts an exercise show for birds?

One more:

Which diminutive member from a certain region of the dark continent fits the answer to this question?

Also, could **“Ale”** be the answer to the question about **Swampbear’s** favorite potent potable?
