Then I can adopt my "secret" identity and really get to work on this revelation.
How did Gemini know about the same IP addresses BTW?

Elementary my dear Posters, who else could it have been!Dadaist wrote:Thanks BB.
Gemini can confirm or protect her source as she desires - I don't know who she got that info from (but I have a strong suspicion).
However, having outlined the legal status of simply saying that 2 posts come from one computer I am happy to confirm that, from what I saw when I was a mod - Gemini is correct.

Porty - where do these quotes in your first post come from??
G & TT?? what's that then??
Has "Moi" been outed??
Is it Bob?? What's GK the deli man got to do with it???
All I can say is that if I'd been Moi I'd have been quite proud. It was a classic and elegantly mocked the pretentious guff that appeared in the "re-a-pier" thread.

1. Dadaist went off at a tangent in the 'new PHS' thread.
2. Porty started a new thread on here and copied some of their posts across.
3. Porty asked the Mods to move the other posts across.
4. We've temporarily lost our facility to move posts within Forums so BB did her best cut'n'paste job.
5. The old posts on the other thread are now deleted.
There clear as mud isn't it?
Gawd - I must have skipped a page on there - just when I thought I was managing to keep up with it too!!Porty wrote:

Thank you - you'd think I would be used to your "unique"style of posting by now!!Gossip and Tittle Tattle.
Moi has apparently been outed by Gemini as Bob. I doubted it because of the outstanding post that Moi made. Probably the best POL ridicule of all time.
Dada says he is sure its Bob.
GK used to run Tigger Rules Deli in the high street but he sold it cos he is expecting turnover to take a nose dive when the new organic forth estuary seafood deli opens on the pier.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you who were not at last weekend's "Imagine Portobello" event, here is information about a bid that is being put together for lottery funding to build a new pier for Portobello.
Re-aPier – The Forth's Gateway to the Sea
An idea for the Big Lottery Living Landmarks project
This proposal is put forward by the community of Portobello on the shore of the City of Edinburgh with partners still to be agreeed.
The proposal will address the need for the sustainable development of the Forth Estuary Coastal Region – the Firth of Forth; for a recasting of the relationship between the people of Edinburgh and their coastal environment; and for the regeneration of the sea side economy of Portobello.
.The proposal envisages the development of a substantial structure, (working title ‘Re-aPier') located in a high profile position off the shoreline of Portobello, Edinburgh's beach and linked to the shore by a walkway or pier. Together with the existing, on shore urban landscape, this structure will constitute a new ‘gateway' between Edinburgh and its coastal and marine environment. Re-aPier is intended as a catalyst for other developments that we hope will see the gateway linked to the city by a combination of an urban walkway and a ‘corridor' of artistic elements that delineate the 3k route from the city to the shore.
Re-aPier will house:
Scientific and development agencies concerned with the sustainable development (social, economic and environmental) of the Firth of Forth.
Educational activities enabling virtual access for the public to an interactive experience of the underwater world of the Firth of Forth, its history, geology, fauna and flora etc. with an emphasis on its interconnectedness with other marine environments and living systems.
An embarkation point for tours of the Firth and journeys to other coastal settlements and attractions.
Artistic elements, including gallery and performance spaces, celebrating the inter relationships of the marine, coastal and urban environments of the Firth of Forth, together with their diverse human populations.
Tourist services in the form of a visitor centre for the township of Portobello and its beach, incorporating a local museum and a range of provisions designed to encourage and support people to explore the coastal and marine environment of Scotland.
Informal recreational opportunities in the form of walkways and social spaces.
Catering and retailing provision.
Re-aPier will use cutting edge marine engineering and design technologies to create a sustainable ‘man made island' or ‘end of pier' presence (crannog?) in a site that is clearly visible and attractive from the main transport route from the city and along the coast of much of the Firth of Forth. 'The design will seek to have minimal impact on the environment in the use of resources both in terms of the construction phase and the ongoing operation of the facility. The structure will become a new signifier of the City of Edinburgh that can be seen by visitors who arrive or leave by air, train or sea.
We believe that the proposal will be welcomed by the township of Portobello because:
It offers increased economic potential through a redefining of the relationship between the township and the City of Edinburgh.
It creates opportunity for aspects of the proposal, such as hotel and catering services, to be developed as social enterprises to benefit local people.
It enables the community to have a significant influence on the impending development of the western end of the township and to link the developments by the means of an urban walkway.
It enables the community to develop its character as a focus for artistic and creative activity.
It will provide the community with an asset that it can steward for the wider benefit of the community.
We believe that the proposal will be welcomed by the City of Edinburgh because:
It contributes to the long term rebranding of Edinburgh as a Waterfront City
It enables Edinburgh to capitalise on its underused asset of a city beach
It contributes to the city's profile as a model for sustainable development and demonstrates the vitality of its communities.
We believe that the proposal will be welcomed by the wider Forth Estuary Coastal Region because:
It will serve as a regional hub for social, economic and environmental development.
It will increase visitor and resident awareness of the value of the coastal and marine environment
It will provide a model of excellence as a partnership approach to regional development.
We intend to put an application to the Big Lottery Fund in January 2006. If we are successful at this stage , we will receive up to £250,000.00 for public consultation, technical development and the development of an appropriate management structure. If the second stage of the development work is successful, we could access between £10M and £25M to make our ideas a reality.

‘Dis-aPier (signifying nothing)' is the working title for the most audacious concept to emerge from the recent grant-aided ‘Pretend Portobello' community workshop and après-vol au vent analysis . Employing state of the art holographic technology, this will truly be a virtual wonder of the modern world to enthral the 21st Century and beyond.
"If you can imagine a giant white elephant dressed in the emperor's new clothes that is initially projected to cost £10m but escalates to the price of a new Forth Estuary Secondary School before finally imploding due to the infinite weight of its own pretentiousness and disappearing up its own black hole then you are on the right track" explains one of the many diverse coastal humans involved in the vision.
"The whole thing actually costs about two hundred quid (plus several million pounds in consultation fees and feasibility studies) and we blow the rest on a big arty party for the usual suspects."
Almost certain to succeed then?

I don't understand what you meanStephen McIntyre wrote: BTW take a look back at your posts and point out where YOU ask for an option appraisal. Think you must be getting your identities mixed up.

Somebody could read this and assume that this was your way of telling us that Rex_Mundi, Portobellosite and Keir Hardie are using the same machine - and are more than likely all the same person.
If that's true, it's a real shame for everyone - but then if the headmaster condones something you can't really blame the pupils for doing it too.
