I tried searching for posts by the poster listener but the search engine tells me it’s an invalid user name.  
I know I’m not _that_ crazy - listener used to post here.

Was he stricken from the records?  
Sent to the cornfield?

Because it’s spelled [lissener](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php).

ETA I assume that’s who you’re looking for.
