Attention! There’s a man in this forum who does not know who he is! Any identification help would be appreciated!

That is astoundingly clever, how ever did you think of it? And why did you imagine it was necessary?

Einstein used to wander lost about the streets of Princeton, NJ, and inquire of passersby, “My name is Albert Einstein. Do you know where I live?”
Think about it, **Rico** , think about it.

I am drmark2000! Fearless defender of reality! Fearless defender of the ineffable! Fearless defender of all that is good and decent in the human organism!
For these reasons, I have been vilified, maligned, aspersed, bespattered, blackened, calumniated, defamed, denigrated, libeled, scandalized, slandered, slurred, smeared, spattered, torn down, traduced, and suspended from SDMB, not just once but twice!
But goodness and decency shall triumph! You watch!

In other words, you haven’t learned anything.

It was necessary for reasons which you do not have the capacity to understand and, in any case, secret to me.
It was a brilliant workaround on my part. Chew on THAT for awhile.

You are young and naive, but inevitably you will learn. It may have to wait until you’re lying on your deathbed, but the knowledge will come to you. At this point, you might as well keep them blinders on for as long as you can.

Not true. Not true at all. I learned all of the things that I have stated already, and so much more… so much more.
By the way, all of this would have happened whether being suspended from SDMB or not.

There are egomaniacs and there are egomaniacs. You, sir, outclass even Carl Sagan.

Except that all the rubberneckers passing by _know_ that when the cop says that, there must be something _really_ interesting to look at. As is the case here.
