Creator of this thread: you are quite clever. This was a very interesting exerciseā€“I canā€™t believe it took me this long to figure it out! Duh! ---

> [@AvhHines](#): > > With certainty, this is the most unalienably right thread Iā€™ve seen in a long time. That **AvhHines**! Just when you least expect it he pulls a four-parter (slight variations accepted!). Seriously, though, are you guys ready to pull the plug? I was thinking by the time we got 1000 views (if it happens, weā€™re at about 950 now) we could reveal the Big Secret, if anyone still doesnā€™t get it. Agree/disagree? ---

Are we to reveal the rules, thus depriving others the joy of discovery? NAY! Again I say, NAY! ---

Life is a pretty good cereal but was (is?) a pretty sucky magazine IMHO. **AVhHines** I live around the swamps of south GA and Iā€™m kinda bearish in appearance (ie stocky/hairy) hence **swampbear**. ---

Liberty to arm bears is a right you support, then? (p.s. I donā€™t know your persuasion, **swamp** , but I know a guy who absolutely _loves_ ā€œbears.ā€) ---

And it just so happens **AvhHines** I am quite fond of bears myself. šŸ˜‰ ---

The pursuit of bears by hunters would certainly be curtailed if people knew they were armed! (I know, I know - double post, and I apologize. I couldnā€™t help myself). ---

Happiness would ensue, however, at least among the bear population. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > And it just so happens **AvhHines** I am quite fond of bears myself. šŸ˜‰ Flashback to primary school Swampy had a little bear And it was very kind And everywhere that Swampy went You saw his bear behind. ---

That weā€™re playing ā€œfast and looseā€ with the rules is also obvious šŸ˜‰ Hopefully it doesnā€™t confuse anyone on the cusp of catching onā€¦ ---

To all, I apologize. My last post was actually a triple, not a double post, and I feel tripley ashamed for my lack of forebearance. ā€œForebearanceā€ ā€“ I kill myself sometimes! ---

Secure yourself, **TellMeIā€™mNotCrazy** , in the near certainty that anyone who is interested in catching on has done so before this point in the posts. The answer is surely in our history.
