I am given to understand that there is a rumour that several people are using the handle 31.

This is not true and the matter is now closed.

Np. I am saying that I am not schizophrenic. I am given to understand that last Friday night this piece of disinformation was spread around and people believed it. Only one person, myself. uses the handle 31.

If someone tried to sign up with '31' Dave wouldnt allow. what rumour I missed it. We know there is only one 31.(edit) I've just seen a post on the Egypt forum. are you the 31 who worked in Egpyt? or is that the imposter.

Last Friday night at the whynotme do there was a rumour that several people shared the handle 31.

Of course only 1 person could have the handle 31 but I presume that the rumour was that several ET teachers were using the handle 31.

I posted on the Egypt forum as I post on others.

I am the only person who has the password and all posts under the handle 31 were written by me.

Even the positive one I've just read on the KSA forum. I like the new 31.

i never heard the rumours either, but i am so glad that there is only one of you. i can't imagine anyone trying to replicate your usually quite colourful posts or consistent bashing of et.

rumours are bad Evil or Very Mad

That is a different matter. I did get someone else to post on my behalf but all they did was post my post(s) on my behalf. What we are talking about here is several people sharing the handle 31.

You didn`t hear the rumours because you were not at the do. I think you mean constant bashing rather than consistent. Like I said with the try supporting a family, work at ET and then comment.

But technically that is more than one person posting under the 31 monicker.

Has anyone else ever felt the need for someone else to do their posting for them? Why would you even entertain such a course of action?


Once again I will clarify the matter. To be absolutely fair more than one person is not posting under the monicker 31.

On at least one occasion a person other than 31 did on 31`s instructions post a 31 written post. Nobody other than 31 is posting under the monicker 31.

I entertained such a course of action as I have said before in order to hide my identity and keep my job. You are all aware of the witch hunt that was undertaken to find and sack me.

31 - You mentioned an earlier 'witchhunt' as ET officials tried to flush you out. Just curious, were there staff meetings? Do they speak of 31 at ET? Have there been any close calls with Molly? (i.e. using computer labs at the school to post "31" isms on Dave's?) (granted of course that they still have labs there - the ones we used at s.nevler were pretty much destroyed in the deprem of 99, and the repair efforts did not inspire much confidence as the primary repair material was crazy glue.)

Have you discovered why it's impossible to search the ESL Cafe forums using the Search tool and the "Search by Author" field containing the name "31"? It produces no results when I search with the browsers Firefox, Safari, and Int. Explorer.
