No idea, just saw him on the list of guests. That means he had to make a post <em>somewhere</em>.

I tried a search and there's no one with that particular handle who has posted here. Maybe you got the number wrong or your eyes were playing tricks with you?

I have once seen a blank posting, apparently. It just displayed a gap between two of the separating commas on the list of whos online. I just presumed it was some bizarre bug. Anyway, there is a way to appear online without having to post... (and without cookies, I discovered this by accident, don't worry, nothing untowards...)

The question is whether it is possible that UR just saw it by a mistake...

It could be a bug in the script, or maybe Markos was bored one day so he added some code to generate random, non-existent usernames

The UBB "who's on" script is notoriously flaky and unreliable.

. Is the script any more so than the persons who post here? At least those, who like me, spend most of their forum time in the OT.
