""Steffen confirmed to The Washington Post last month that he is NCPAC (pronounced 'nik-pak'). He canceled a meeting scheduled for this article and did not respond to further requests for comment. No one else could post messages as NCPAC without NCPAC sharing his password, according to a spokesman for FreeRepublic.com. NCPAC posted about a thousand messages between January 2004 and early last month. They were sprinkled with autobiographical asides that a reporter independently verified as facts of Steffen's life.""

We are to believe from the bold that they originally divined the identity of NCPAC from these minor clues. Baloney! This would only serve as confirmation IF you already knew who you were looking at.

I agree. I think that someone who worked with or otherwise knew Steffen, and suspected that he might post at FR, came to FR, then used his or her knowledge of Steffen to lay the trap. Either MD4Bush knows Steffen, or, got inside info on Steffen from someone who knows him.
