Well, has he? I’ve been reading through some of the old threads and I must admit that they did get a little rambunctious. I can’t convince myself though, that someone so dedicated to SDMB actually threw in the towel. Do you think he actually left and never came back? Are there suspicions that he is still posting under another user name? If so which one? 😃 ---

**Wishbone** , as an aside, this is called “trollspotting” and is at best, frowned upon (since these things tend to turn nasty quickly…think what happens when someone gets named!) and may actually be against the rules. I’d suggest e-mailing a mod and having the thread shut down. (I know you’re new, so I thought I’d let you know). Just for the record: I am not a mod. All that said, boy-oh-boy, regardless of what you thought of circumcision, JDT was a serious weirdo, wasn’t he?! Fenris ---

Or, instead of having the thread shut down, ask someone to edit it (like I’d intended to edit my last post…I’d kill for an edit button…preview is my friend) and have the questions removed and we can just talk about how weird he was. Fenris ---

I think he is posting under the name … **wishbone**! Tried to trick me, didncha, ole **wishy** (or should I say **Jack** )? Well, I was able to figure you out by using my awesome powers of reasoning. This thread you started was a cry for help…I think you _wanted_ to get caught! 😉 Well, someone had to do it. ---
