Just checked IBD's posting history, and this is the one and only reply 'in forum' that I found:

It's not even a reply, per se, as he/she wasn't responding to another Freeper. Apparently, this person has been allowed to blog pimp here since 2007. No bueno.
Good catch, Windflier.
I’ve been loosely watching this for years, and my thought was that they’d never responded.
It makes it worse, doesn’t it, that we now know they do know how to post a reply?
