Author identities - Most Wanted List
I don't want any identities revealed here, but I'm just curious as to which forum posters are the greatest mysteries to its readers.
Some of us use our real names or pretty well known nicknames (e.g., myself, Liam Flynn, Paul Arnott, DJ) and others are fairly open about their aliases (e.g., Panther, Moses Guthrie), but still shouldn't be named publically.
There's a very broad range of contributors and readers -- any unknown name could be a 'big fish' or a quiet fan no one would suspect.
If you had five chances to reveal the hidden identities, which forum authors would you pick?
Just a reminder -- anyone outing someone will not be coming back; a lot of people take this very seriously. Anyone providing unfair hints to identities will not be viewed favourably either. If someone wants to talk about kids a la Guthrie, that's fine, but that's their choice and not yours.
I'll kick it off with probably one of the only aliases that had me wondering: "Winston Grubergeiger", someone who has posted intermittently since back in the Sixers Lounge days I think (have had my suspicions re their identity, but never been sure). Also, "what the", although someone once suggested a reasonable guess I think. I also wondered who Sturty6ers was until they introduced themselves and Bootney Farnsworth until they revealed their email address in a conversation. To round out the five, "Jay". (Even seeing an email address I don't know!)
