As for what Brad looks like, since I have practically no artistic talents, I dont' think I could draw a picture. I have long hair, but lack that artistic talent that most long-haired guys have.

The neat thing about the idea of aliases is it reminds us that on the net, one can never be too sure of who someone actually is. If someone can talk the talk, they can convince someone that they're almost anyone. Here on film-tech, this is more difficult because some members know other members personally, and many members have enough experience to know when someone is trying to "BS" their way through something. The fact that registration is required cuts down on nearly all of the people that would try to get in and pretend to be something they're not. The moderation on the site keeps junk from getting into the wrong areas too much and the members' reactions to ridiculous postings quickly discourages others.

It's funny that William Parr has "triple Dog dared" them to post Brad's picture. When Evans suggested that everyone draw a picture of Brad, the first thing that came to my mind was a picture of a cross between a cocker spaniel and a collie. Do you suppose that this is rooted in something factual that has been gleamed out of a posting??

I know that Joe is probably making a lot of mistakes trying to run his projectors because he know his time is short. He knows he will be found out. He is shaking in the very boots on his feet. His hair or what's left of it is turning grey. His face has aged and now contains deep crevises where a smile use to be.

Yes, it's true. Brad and Joe, Ian and Dwayne
are synonymous with each other.

My God! What if they are trying to take over Evans Personality. Remember "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" the one with Kevin McCarthy.

Evans, Please check your closet and your basement before you go to sleep tonight. If you see anything that looks like a seed pod...smash it and run for your life.

Joe is a geeky dweeb. Joe is 27 years old.
Joe is talented with a video camera and a MAC.

Brad is a geeky dweeb. Brad is 31 years old.
Brad is talented with chemicals and invented Film-Guard. Brad is also a sneaky bastard who edited my post so that you wouldn't know what he looks like. It's his meglomaniac complex.

Ian is a geeky dweeb. Ian is 38 years old.
Ian has no talent.

To mathematically analyze people to see if they might be the same, I'd have to write a Perl program to go through and capture a good-sized sample of the text of the posters in question and do various statistics of various aspects of the text they generate. I don't know how difficult or easy this might be yet. It would definitely be an interesting little project, though.

This thread has really helped put some humor into a day that really needed it. The homework is in the final form to be turned in and I hope everything is right. The homework results might end up in a thread someday is the right topic comes up. At least now I know how to write and find a directional derivative again. In case anyone's curious, it had to do with removal of linear motion blur from an image. The technique was first published in 1972, I believe.

It was Friday, April 6 (late, after midnight). While sitting on my bed, I started writing the list on a notepad and wrote 15 things before I ran out of ideas. Before I went to bed and turned out the lights, I put the notepad next to my computer so that at some time during the next day, I'd login from my home computer and post them. I did so that night before some friends came over. I posted them at 6:45 then got offline soon afterwards and turned the computer off since I was going to show the "Charlie's Angels" DVD to some friends, and turning off the computer gets rid of another source of extraneous noise.

Nobody gave me the idea to post the list. I did it totally on my own. I figured that some items in the list might generate some humorous conversations, but I never dreamed it would go in some of the directions that it has. I find some of these directions extremely humorous.

Brad did not put me up to it. In fact, he had no idea that the list was going to be posted until I did it, because the list did not exist until late Friday night after midnight!

The list was a very quickly conceived thought. Creating the list took about 15 minutes at the most. Typing it in took about 10 minutes the next day. That's it. The rest is history.

Sean is , one hell of a smart,person. He will not be fooled by the rambelings of Denver Joe or Dallas Brad who are and forever will be the same person. You know, Joe you are not real, you are a "fig"(ment) of Brad's imagination and once you realize this you will go "Poof", you will cease to exist. Are you sure you want to continue? Could be your last chance. If I were you, I would think about it. Do yourself a favor...ask Sean, if you really, exist??? Joe from now on, you shall be called "Fig". So let it be written, so let it be done. ( Ten Commendments, Charlton Heston.)
