Clue me in then. How do I fit in this little innuendo? Did I just accidently flame someone, and it wasnt even about me?

Scylla go back farther, I think its like that Kevin Bacon game. I can link him back 5 to 7 times deeper. Can you match that? Plus now that Lurker 009 is back we can ask him which he knew or was? Its kind of a neat puzzle ro game when you are really bored.

Now, now, big guy, coulda been worse. They could have called you _UncleFelcher_, which would have conjured up unsavory visions of Thanksgiving dinner at the Beer family household.
