Actually, under the circumstances, my conscience would only allow me to claim the title of “fish-in-a-barrel shooter.”

By the way, for the record, I was referring to **OgreFade** aka **The Urge** who, after being banned for having two user names _and_ absently threatening to shut down the SDMB, informed me privately that he had come back a third time under yet another screen name and kept badgering me if I’d figured out what it was (as if I cared and/or had the time to care). Now that he’s back as **The Urge** since the MB’s renewal, I wonder if that third account still exists, and if so, if that counts as a duplicate name fit for banning yet again?
