I must be missing something. First I’m told here that I’m being taken in by clones, then I’m told that banned clones are using my quotes in their sig, then I get emails from persons unknown using phrases from Sue Jo’s post in that thread, then inviting me to clone myself so I can make trouble. Can anyone 'splain it to me?

Socks lie. Their only purpose now is to stir up trouble on the message board, since they know good and well that we don’t allow more than one screen name. They are insecure people, otherwise they wouldn’t need to resort to using a sock puppet.

By the way, you might want to forward those bizarre e-mails to Tuba or Lynn, if you haven’t already. Sometimes we can get useful information out of them.
