DISCLAIMER: I am **NOT** a stalker. Besides, that’d be kinda tough given my current physical location. However, over the past week or so I’ve noticed a trend. **TubaDiva** seems to have taken after my particular ‘sig-line’ posting style. My evidence: [Exhibit “A”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7253491&postcount=3)[Exhibit “B”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7255571&postcount=17)[Exhibit “C”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7251772&postcount=17)[Exhibit “D”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7255593&postcount=37)[Exhibit “E”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7251433&postcount=14)[Exhibit “F”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7251430&postcount=5)[Exhibit “G”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7322235&postcount=8)[Exhibit “H”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7324719&postcount=7) . . . and in the interests of brevity–and from _really_ looking like a stalker–I’ll leave it at that. See, I just happened to be cruising ATMB when I noticed one or two (which was interesting). Then later on in the thread, I noticed one or two more. So I casually searched and lo! There was like, _way_ too many more to be just a statistical coincidence. 😃 Tripler It seems I have sunken my first charismatic claws into the cabal of the Mods. 😃 ---
