Fair enough. I have no particular reason to doubt you, and I mean no offense, but I am still not convinced.

Dan Savage’s [new column](http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/SavageLove?oid=14208958) this weeks owns up to last week’s letter being a fake. I guess SubaRhubarb (and/or others) did the trick!

See Post #35 above - I link to the column and quote the relevant text in that post…

\*\*Ambivalid \*\*- I take \*\*SubaRhubarb’s \*\*statements to mean “I have solid proof, but sharing it with publicly on a message board is not considered appropriate; but I can tell you I shared it with Dan Savage, the SDMB Mods, etc., and they saw enough to be convinced that umkay is a troll/quad masquerader…”

If I have that incorrect, **SubaRhubarb** , do tell.

I am sorry. I blurt a lot. I was such a tattletale as a kid and I have not fully outgrown it. I didn’t want anyone to think I was withholding information just to be gloaty all Gollum style.

I had thought about asking you some questions about another place I thought I found her if you don’t mind me PMimg you?

**Fiddle Peghead** I am in no way offended and fully understand.

**Wordman** Yes. But I didn’t email our mods here info about the one place I will not name. They are damaged people there so left it up to their mods.

I should have waited for Ambivalid to answer you, but I PMed both of you with a link where I found her as well.

What an odd world.
