So, the Staff here are allowed multiple ‘Sock’ accounts, but it’s _‘InstaBan-Without-Comment’_ for the rest of us? I have no ‘Socks’ here, but that seems an odd rule, to say the least. After all, as I have pointed out before, taking responsibility for one’s posts seems to be paramount. ---

Yes it is, that’s one of the reasons I thought they might be the same. ---

I deny emphatically being Batman. I wouldn’t even WANT to be Batman if I could. I wouldn’t mind being Bruce Wayne (or, at least, having some large fraction of his wealth) but I can’t see myself living alone in Stately Wayne Manor with only one old man to clean the 87 rooms. ---

I couldn’t really place the name **jdavis** as an admin. He’s a quiet one, publicly, at least. Did a search. Back when, apparently, he was all over the map. But now my light bulb floods: he’s the “Jerry” I’ve heard so much about, who depending on the moment in ATMB threads is the fallback guy/patsy/whip-hand of the hamsters/MitchMurray. Until just now he’s been more eminently grey. Is this where he first first swam into the consciousness of the great unwashed? And I was able to find it. The irony, the irony. ---

Has it then been decided that the title of Admin should remain with one person only or is it intended to return to the status quo ante once security requirements have been satisfied? I guess it’s no big deal but I’m just curious. ---
