I-jacking!

Hey, as an added bonus, we run up the MeFi user numbers in a hurry with all the fake names, thereby making the genuine, low-digit names even more valuable. A plan only the Cabal could be devious enough to devise. posted by anildash jokingly spoof posting as mathowie at 12:07 PM PST on March 30

I don't know, the whole thing makes me question all my assumptions about the world around me.

speaking of AIM names -- my AIM name is "rebekah dot org" but one day a couple months ago a bunch of my friends got IMs from someone using the AIM name "rebekah jude org" (rebekah jude being my name name). creepy as hell. and, as far as i know, untracable.

You know, if we can get DoublePostGuy to post here, we could get another clue as to his identity.
