See, that’s exactly how I took it - I thought he was just trying to drum up business for his underfed forum. ---

But why do **kikiki** and **Lola Youraunt** have the same exact .sig line? 😕 Esprix ---

That’s weird, **Esprix**. I’ll try to find my way into the Cecil’s Columns forum, **Arnold**. And I’m glad I wasn’t being insulted, too. I think my work here is done. ---

It was fairly obvious what **Arnold Winkelried** ’s intention was in the original ATMB thread, especially to anyone who is at all familiar with him as a poster. The mystery of the unexplained ties between **kikiki** and **Lola Youraunt** , however, remain unexplained. ---

kikiki and Lola Youraunt are the same person, a returned troll. For a returned troll we sometimes remove posting privileges without including the banned label to avoid giving the troublemaker more attention. ---

But… but you moved the post here. Didn’t that give the troublemaker more attention? 😉 ---

That was a mistake. I meant to move it somewhere else but the board was slow and I screwed up. In addition, I am reluctant to delete posts, because, as evidenced by the posters in this thread, people want to know everything that is going on and someone would be bound to ask “what happened to that post? Why was it deleted?” etc. etc. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/subscribing-to-a-forum/124863.md?page=1)
