All kidding aside, _zagadka_ means (meant) ā€˜mystery, riddle, puzzleā€™ in Russian, and _ottenok_ means (meant) ā€˜shade, hueā€™ in Russian. Kinda late now for this information. Wish Iā€™d looked it up while it was still current. _Mne zhalā€™!_ Dzhomo Modzho ---

I think weā€™re going to respectfully decline to answer detailed questions. Trolls (and ā€œattempted returneesā€ usually fall in that category) are out for public notice, and we donā€™t want to give them any. Listing all the attempts to get back in is just another form of publicity. ā€œDonā€™t feed the trollsā€ includes donā€™t give them the satisfaction of: (a) showing them that people are curious about them (which they will read as ā€œare their friendsā€ or ā€œcare about themā€); or (b) letting them see the list of their different persona (which will give them the jollies.) If your curiousity is gnawing at you so that you canā€™t sleep, canā€™t eat, or canā€™t watch TV from worrying about it, then email an Administrator (my suggestion would be TubaDiva) privately and weā€™ll put your mind at rest. Since this thread has evolved a long way from commenting on the end of Zagadka, itā€™s time to move on. The sooner that gone means forgotten, the sooner that he will stop trying to re-infiltrate a place where heā€™s not wanted.
