Your 1st post infers you aren’t ignorant to the subject. I don’t need to post the easy info because I am trying to engage with those who are already up to date. This is a roast, not an outing of some secretive creature. ---

Your first post indicated that you wanted a conversation about Mr. Koskinen, but that you either didn’t know anything more about him than the fact that you heard the name in passing, or that you wanted an interesting conversation about him but knew that you yourself had nothing intelligent and/or interesting to contribute. edited to add: > [@](#): > > I’m probably the 10th person to start a thread like this. You are right in this one small instance, though-It’s already been done to death, which begs the question: _Why do it again?_ ---

Again, you assume too much. It hasn’t been done enough, or there would be no question. ---
