You’re probably thinking of **davidmich** , which is most likely the previous name of **Octagon**. The Pit thread did not go well for people complaining about his posting then. If anyone wants to complain about Octagon’s posting, it’s probably a good idea to read that thread first for some other viewpoints.

Man, I miss that guy. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-going-on-with-octagons-posts/1001019)._
