Oh I agree and I think I even saw one of them. Bloody rare as they are I don't expect to see one again.

That's for the best. Keep your expectations low and you'll never be disappointed.

I don't get why some of aine's posts are listed as guest, and other times, she has a profile.

I'm guessing she somehow/somewhy reset her account but I'm not sure.

Because, in order to post, you have to create an account, but they've since deleted/cancelled their accounts?

There be the answer.  :)

Er, I still would like to have an answer to Serack's question.
Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

Er, I still would like to have an answer to Serack's question.

There are a few answers:

1) The person posted as a guest and never had an account;
2) The person had an account and deleted it, thus leaving their posts for posterity in a new, anonymous status;
3) The person HAD an account, deleted it, then opened a new account under a new user name and then changed the nickname to their OLD username, thus making it appear that they had come back from the dead when in truth they have not.

The most common answer is #2.
If I missed anything then please add on!


Hope that helps!
When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
