How do you know is a guy?

Exactly.  I always suspected Rockie was an inferior beta version of Tay,
written in Javascript by a group of disgruntled ex-Nortel test engineers
that got shafted during the bankruptcy:

[quote]Bankruptcy lawyers, [u]many billing over $1,000 an hour[/u], have already been awarded $1.7 billion out of the original $9 billion in Nortel assets, leaving $7.3 billion in a shrinking “lockbox” set aside for former employees, businesses, bondholders, hedge funds and others ...

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin Gross, in a 113-page ruling in May 2015 that is the subject of the appeal, put it this way: “It is sufficient to note that even a writer of fiction would would not dare to compose the story of the death of this multinational enterprise and the harm it inflicted on tens of thousands of employees and creditors.”[/quote]

Starting to make sense, isn't it?

Where is Rockie?

He joined. Reported a post. In fact it was the only one I am aware of other than me reporting one as a quick way to alert Scud about a glitch. Then he chickened out and quit I presume. Unless Scud banned him and did not tell me. I'm fairly certain that's not the case. We would love to have him here. At least the royal we sure would.

You are correct I never banned him, I don't do such things.  If someone wants to be the village idiot that's their choice,ill welcome them all.
I suppose i'm kind of a libertarian socialist......

hey lets code a bot and send it over to Avcanada and see how long it takes it to get banned. We could put money on it have a pool going.
