I've never said I didn't have a previous s/n, and I won't — there's zero reason to lie. (And it's such a stupid thing to lie about.)
(I made the new s/n for my blog, and I've been completely honest about this.)
Perhaps the only thing I would dispute about being called a retread
is the underlying/unspoken implication/subtext that I'm a troll/plant/Democrat/Liberal/Shill/whatever.
I believe I said, “posting this just in case he tries saying he isn’t.”
Now point out to me in there where it says that you denied it?
This is a test of your comprehension.
Try not to fail.
Second point: what your prior handle was says quite alot about whether you have any credibility.
Yes, retreading often is an attempt to hide a damaged image.
