He's a good guy, and I wouldn't mind him actually becoming a regular poster here.

PFAdmin, just out of curiosity, how did you find us? Did you backtrace the red = Democrat and blue = Republican maps?

I don't want to give too much away on a publicly searchable board, but most of it was basic detective work. we have some staff members who are specifically charged with reviewing and approving new accounts, and they see so many of them, it's amazing even to me how quickly and easily they spot so many anomalies in an individual's registration information, or commonalities among several registrations that come through in a short period of time. We've got two who are almost psychic, and a third, newer one who is learning fast.

And when you have something like 50-70 accounts all in a short period of time, it becomes much easier. With that many accounts all showing up at once, you're inevitably going to have tons of overlaps. That's a hell of a lot of blips on the radar screen all at once.

That's the basic outline of how we did it; there were actually a few more tricks that confirmed it, but I really would prefer not to disclose those. Sorry to be uncooperative, but someday when you're on our staff, we'll teach you everything!

I'm surprised there were 50-70 accounts. I guess that would mean that the vast majority of our active regulars signed up.

There are close to 20 that we're not absolutely certain of, so we left them alone. But I think the total body count was just an inch or two north of 50. That was why I probably sounded so steamed; it took a bit of scrutiny!

50!? I thought it wasn't more than a dozen. I guess only a few people actually posted who they were publicly.

Yeah... I wonder if that was smart. I don't want to wear out my welcome around here; I like y'all, but I know I'm already not that popular with everyone. Might not be the best idea to hang around, but hell, everyone else has a state, and I felt badly not seeing Wisconsin anywhere. I'm proud to come from a place with such a strong tradition of progressive populism... even if that tradition is becoming more historical than contemporary.

If the end result was that we lost Bushie and gained PFAdmin as regular posters, I'd consider the invasion an overall success, tbh.

OMG there's a thought.  What if PFAdmin is the Bizarro Bushie we suspected was out there?

PFAdmin, we know you're married and certainly seem well-adjusted.  But are you fit and healthy, and in long-term stable employment?  If yes to both, welcome home at long last, AmohalkoHsub!

Please don't worry about that. Of course there will always be a bunch of haters, but most of us have no hard feelings, as this poll shows (FF stands for "Freedom Fighter", in the case you missed it).

Do you like election maps and demographics? If so, this forum is a pretty great place to be.

Wisconsin. I've stayed out of the invasion/Bushie drama though.

PFAdmin seems like a nice guy, his posts here thus far have been great. FF.

When I think TJ, I think OH. It is the Cleve thing I think. Tongue
