I apologize for not reading this thread sooner, as the PMs would have cleared everything up. I was convinced girlfriday was a sockpuppet, however, and didn't bother reading it.

Mr. Mendelson, as a former journalist, should recognize that what doesn't get said is usually more telling than what does. Mr. Mendelson continually asked about Rob "writing" the posts and PMs, as opposed to coaching someone else or being responsible for them. Mr. Mendelson doesn't like to lie in print, even on a forum, so one just has to connect the dots of what Mr. Mendelson doesn't say to figure out what's happening. Not that hard.

There were many tipoffs. Girlfriday's name, for example -- LOL. It tells you she's doing someone else's work for them. At least Rob has a sense of humor. Then you have the hyperbolic summary describing the PMs to and from me in the original post in this thread. I'm still trying to figure out how mentioning that MickeyCrimm is using his last name puts me in the category of idolizing him. And while I can be as narcissistic as Tony Stark, my PMs to girlfriday were strictly Dragnet in tone. So I'd say girlfriday's mischaracterization of the PMs, while of course not actually posting the PMs, was a big tipoff. Then we have the posing as a math-reliant advantage player who can't quite put her finger on what's wrong with Rob's voodoo. Then we have her showing up to simply take down kewlJ with some mortgage expertise and agree with Mr. Mendelson.

I mean, c'mon. It's not even in the debatable category as to what was going on.

The thing is, it doesn't get propped up without Mr. Mendelson, who's probably having a hearty guffaw at this point. He massaged this thing along.

The disturbing angle to me is that, since I was likely to respond when girlfriday asked if anyone else was using their real name, this was clearly aimed at me. So I have to assume Mr. Mendelson is part of my problem.

Mr. Mendelson, be careful. You may get one of those Fs from Ms. Stumhoffer I mentioned in a previous post. And this isn't English class.
