You know, the search engine works now… I had it search for **bj0rn** and there he was, in the “Confessions of an ex-troll” thread here in the Pit. Took all of three minutes. He posted there yesterday, the 7th. * * * \>\< DARWIN \> \_\_ **L\_\_\_L** ---

All right, **bj0rn** , admit it: When you typed in your UserName, you typed “0” by mistake, right? You meant to type"o", but your finger slipped, am I right?

Good Heavens. I have a mental image of bj0rn now, something I never had before.

The link worked fine for me, too. Not at all what I expected. I hate when I see pictures of people I have previously not seen–it sort of makes them human and then my conscience starts to bother me.
