> [@Anonymous User](#): > > **Marley23** , since you are an administrator, you can check IP addresses, right? If so, then wouldn’t that be the best way to see if **solosam** is indeed a sock made by **the lone cashew**? “…if solosam is indeed a sock made by the lone cashew…” Or ( dramatic music ) vice versa… (more dramatic music ).. ---

What they don’t realize is that we’re apathetic, not idiots. You would be AMAZED at how many sock puppeteers follow a pattern in picking their names. Back before we could easily trace IPs, or trace IPs at all, this was one way that we could get evidence that someone was a sock. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Which you just admitted to not having done, verdad? Indeed, it is what I admitted to. I’m pretty sure all of us have done so at one time or another. It was obviously a rhetorical question, as I’m pretty sure **Anonymous User** read the entire thread. (And I’m also pretty sure that he did not originally post a rant.) It seems that everyone else who responded has figured out that that post was not as straightforward as it seems at first glance. You might want to go back and look at it: I made at least four different points, none of them being the one you think I made. Anyways, now I’m doing exactly what I was trying to avoid, making this thread about me. This is my third post defending myself. And, darn it, **Cashew Solo** (or whatever he’s going by this week) deserves this Pit thread all to himself. ---
