I suspect someone was trying to disrupt Freerepublic with the im4fred thing.
Did you see anything of this poster before the Freep Mail?
I don't remember any posts...
For the MD4Bush saga, the poster/impersonator used the following: 2oth century
I cannot type that way -- using a lower case 'o' instead of zero ('0'). It is the style of a newspaper reporter.
Sure wish I could look at some Freerepublic logs and IP Addresses used (as well as other Internet traceback information)...
I think it was someone outside both the Thompson and Hunter camps.
That's up to the powers that be. I'd be surprised if they hadn't.
