I know.

The worst thing about that whole posting thing was when EIF started putting his username in on my PC and we discovered that IE had stored his password from the last time he stayed at my house. So I could have been causing havoc with his account for a year but I didn't know.

Whenever I use somebody else's machine to log on, I always:
Never click on the option to save password
remember to log out after I'm done
And use the delete all cookies option.

But I do remember the night Rah decided to have some fun after I passed out and he was using my computer

Well that would be the sensible thing to do but I think it was about 2am when I left him on my computer and went to bed so he was probably drunk. He could easily have posted as me whilst he was at it.

Unfortunately he discovered this and everyone else remembered not to let IE store the passwords or I'd have had 7 logins.

What did Rah do?

He can tell it far better than I...

Needless to say, MarkG wasn't too pleased with me, and made it VERY clear to me not to let it happen again...

I bet.

So, Rah, what did you get up to with Ming's account?

Yes...

In my defence, that was the day of the ACOL/Poly meeting at the round table, and I wasn't in the world's best state... I'm sure anyone who was there will verify that... "I can't be drunk, I work in a bar"...

Hmm, as for David's password... MikeH beat me to it.

But he's had well over a month to change it, and threads posted in his name on FFZ and Counterglow to warn him.

Higgsy's thread on FFZ was brilliant.

Hmmmm, what did I do

Since I didn't know how to ban anybody, that was out.

But deleting or closing threads is easy.
Which I quickly took to like a ferret to sex.

For awhile I tried to stay in character, (which I guarentee that I'm good enough at for it to not be noticed.) And only messed with the normal trouble makers, But then.................

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. (Especially when bolstered by massive amounts of booze.) And I started getting a little arbitrary. (which we know Ming never does ) And started mouthing off a bit. And I took great glee in typing "CASE CLOSED" again and again. Fortunately late Fridays is a slow time for the forums. But some of my later tirades were noticed by Mark. He was not a happy camper. (justified, I guess )

Since we were playing golf early the next morning, Ming didn't get a chance to check his e-mails till later the next day. Not responding probably didn't help Mark's disposition.

Needless to say Ming was quite POed at his "loving" brother.

My chances at ever becoming a mod were greatly reduced. Which is probably a good thing. Watching all the effort that Ming puts into babysitting a new generation that must make it's mark by thwarting/baiting/abusing/testing authority seems like way too much work for the rewards that he gets. (which besides an occasional pat on the head and the notoriety, is NIL)

Rah often shows up using Ming's accounts...

The other night, during the baseball draft, Rah was using Ming's ICQ account as well.

On friday nights, I am usually partying at Ming's. Playing civ mp.
I use his icq to arrange games. I try not to post at apolyton from there because I'm too lazy to log off and log back on, but every now and then, I forget and post and see that I posted under Ming's name. If I notice those, i'll delete them. Don't want Mingy to get into any more trouble.

I guess that means you will be reprimanded by MTG, huh, Ming?
