I am merely a long time lurker who has formed opinions about some of the posters here.

Show\_Biz has accused me of being someone else.

I am Cannon. Period.

I didn’t know where to post this, but as the accusation took place here, I thought this would be the place to defend myself.

It’s not necessary to be a sock puppet to realize that some posters are obnoxious twits.

Not that I would name anyone. This is not the pit, after all.

Cannon, if you’d lurked more carefully, you’d have realised that _all_ conversation regarding sock puppets and trolls takes place off the boards, by means of e-mails with the moderators and administrators.

Rest assured, if we find any claim that anyone is a sock puppet feasible, you’ll notice. So far, that has not been the case in your instance.

Your protest in this case is duely noted, and this thread is closed.
