On the end of [this thread](http://www.livejournal.com/community/sdmb_anonymous/2277.html?page=3) TubaDiva says she is Cecil’s daughter. Seems like a joke comment on an otherwise serious thread. What’s up with that? ---

If you read on – **TubaDiva** says she didn’t make that comment at all. ---

And Just when it was looking interesting, too. I thought we were watching a cool soap opera plot, where the missing character’s long-lost twin reappears. ---

I dunno how they faked an entry to make it look like me, but I did NOT make that post. I will not be posting on Live Journal again. Y’all want to find out something, ask me here. Shouldn’t have been there in the first place, but I felt at the time it was better to go to the source of the misinformation and try to correct it there. Since it’s so easy to spoof someone over there, I won’t try that again. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

You may rest assured that this is the only Official Site, and that any one claiming to be Cecil or Ed Zotti elsewhere is lying through their pixels. ---

You shouldn’t be upset if people think Ed and Cecil might post elsewhere. It’s not that unlikely, after all. Both of them (and a few other SDMB mods) are members in good standing at the Fathom board. And of course TubaDiva and Lynn both did post on the board above. ---

It’s just too bad there’s so much potential for abuse; that’s why the registrations at fathom, to keep other people from posting in established staff screen names. Since this question has really been asked and answered, let’s close. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

For the record, **Beeruser** , it is _extremely_ unlikely that Ed or Cecil would post elsewhere. There are only a few Moderators who, on rare occasion, post elsewhere. I think that I even registered on fathom when it was first started up, to protect the name from being used by someone else, not to participate.
