When I clicked on Dragon’s Search link, I got shown 3 threads.
Since Dragon had posted twice already, and had a Post Count of 3, that didn’t add up.
The extra thread was actually only used by red_dragon60, and it was entitled
**Very vaguely creepy. - 279 replies Homer 08-10-2000 In My Humble Opinion **
I was in Dragon’s initial thread, where Dragon’s count read 3 and two Dragon posts were visible there.
Then I clicked on Search and there were 3 threads listed, which would imply 4 posts total.
However, the 4th post turned out to have been made by red_dragon60.
None of red_dragon60’s other threads were linked in however.
And the spooky part was that thread was named Very vaguely creepy.
Yeah, I think that’s right now. Anyway, it does appear to be a Very vaguely creepy bug.
Get some sleep, barflyer. 
Peace,

To sum up: The bug is that a search for user “Dragon” turned up one thread by user “red_dragon60”, but not all threads by him. This is genuinely weird… Lemme see if I can duplicate it.
OK, I’ve figured it out… It wasn’t red_dragon60 who triggered the search, it was The White Dragon. Since “Dragon” appears as a separate word in that name, and since it’s capitalized, it shows up in the search.
You seem to have ruined barflyer’s mystery, all right.
Too bad; I hate when the board starts making sense- too disorienting.
Looks like The White Dragon is one of Fanny May’s monoposters, someone who posts once and stops.
Actually fairly common, from the stats Bill H. had.
Just passing through, I guess.
Oh dear. The light of day is always a shock!
Yes, my midnight “bug” was a daylight “oversight” on my part.
Sorry to trouble you.
Thanks Chronos for double checking.
