I mention this as the tactics of Andy Ray = Mr. Poole.

Of course Andy Ray would like to clearify the matter and explain why this may not be the case. If he is truthfull about the book then he also could be truthfull about who he is. As it stands though he could be anyone and that I would warn anyone that contributing to a unknown author is asking to have your position muddifed to the authors bias.

This post doesn't say that Andy Ray is Steve but there is no way to know if he isn't either. And we know how honest Steven Poole is don't we?

So if there is any reason for us to feel we aren't getting jerked around agian then Andy Ray could produce some better indication of his true intent for asking silly and obtuse questions. A trusted member of the forum could be used to confirm his identity with out damaging Andy R.s need for confidentiality.

Otherwise folks you have been warned.

Dear Brian,

Not knowing how Mr. Poole will respond to this, I must say "Thank you!" I am indeed flattered - and that is twice in as many days! Someone accused me of being Mr. Decker earlier...was that you? (I do not remember...)

And, I must say, a thread dedicated to finding out more about who I am! Wonderful! I feel so important.

:)

You will understand, of course, if I decline your most polite request to offer any more personal information about myself. Though your continuing to seek it is certainly flattering, I most modestly respond in the negative.

Pleasant Regards,
Andy Ray

He kinda reminds me of the softer side of Declan, with hideous spelling.

This is line #2.

He just get's on my nerves.... jeez... self serving font.... ugly color....
Pretending things he is not....

Time to act saintly again...

May all of Andy's dream and wishes come true for him....

No, I don't think AR is CET. Not a big enough asshole. Here's a comparison:

Maria: (_*_)

AR: (_*_)

Poole: (_*_)

CPR: (_*_)

Andy Ray has always lied about his intentions of posting on this forum. There is no book or publisher. There sure as h*ll is no scientific method here. There is probably a code in his misspellings that someone else might be able to decipher (for instance, consistently substituting "s" for "z" in utilize, apologize, recognize, characterize, etc.).

Let's try that again:

Maria: (_*_)

AR: (_*_)

Poole: (_*_)

CPR: (_*_)

He misspells at roughly the same rate as Mutha, who is concentrating so deeply on her new persona(s) that she can't join us anymore.

Lisa,

Do we really want to discuss spelling?

Regards,
Andy Ray

-- Andy Ray (andyman633@hotmail.com), July 26, 1999.

No, I want to know what happened to Mutha.

-- lisa (lisa@work.now), July 26, 1999.

Lisa,

I do not know.

Regards,
Andy Ray

They aren't mispellings, they are typos. And anyone who wants to correct me go right on ahead for I will not have mercy on anyone.

I just received an email from Stephen Poole, CET. He said he thought the accusation was humorous, and told me to post it. I admire his sense of humor!

Humorous Regards,
Andy Ray

I suppose you two enjoy a good Polka as well!
