I hate to hijack this thread by bringing it back to the OP, but… here goes. My apologies. How was it figured out that NightRabbit was nongoog? I mean, was it the same IP address, or was it because of similarities in topics they posted about, or what? A search reveals that [supergoose made a connection](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9560133&postcount=14) on 3/9/08, but then nothing came of it. Now that I’m reading supergoose’s post, I can see where the similarities were, but it never would have occurred to me to make that connection. I guess I’m wondering how such things come to light. ---

[/QUOTE] I remember that. When the connection was brought up it made so much sense to me, their styles of posting were so similar and several details about their life were the same (20-something female in NYC who was dating much older boss who bought her gifts, both of them always started stupid Pit threads that would turn back on them, etc.) IIRC she denied the accusation, saying she had never heard of **nongoog** , so I’m curious how it was proven they were the same. ---

Oh wow, I love it! She slutted around with her married boss and cried that he didn’t get her a Christmas gift (though she didn’t get him one), yet somehow finds it in her to feel morally superior to a woman who buys expensive handbags? ---
