Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Re: Hello Again!!!!
Actually, no one really knows which if the following, if any, is true:
1. I am the real DrStraw pretending to be Sakata
2. I am Sakata pretending to be DrStraw
3. I am an imposter pretending to be DrStraw
4. I am an imposter pretending to be DrStraw and Sakata
5. I am not who you think I am and I am really Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam pretending to be DrStraw and Sakata
6. Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam can add up the numbers as well as anyone else.
Only time will tell.

Re: Hello Again!!!!
I'm going to completely ignore those points and instead comment on how cunning the name, Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam, was. We were missing Sakata, and Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam showed some of the same characteristics. But calling out Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam as Sakata would not really pin the identity since Sakata was just a persona in the first place, and I don't think anyone suspected it to be DrStraw without the latest clues in the sig. Now that we know your true identity (still ignoring the above) the name Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam makes perfect sense.DrStraw wrote:Actually, no one really knows which if the following, if any, is true:

What other type of logic applied to the choice of a name would you expect from with a person who has a PhD in Pure Mathematics.CarlJung wrote: I'm going to completely ignore those points and instead comment on how cunning the name, Iamnotwhoyouthinkiam, was.

Re: Hello Again!!!!
Actually, you are not. Neither am I. I was a judge at the local high school scholastic competition a month ago. I sat down next to one of the other judges, a person at the university whom I had heard of but never met. His name: Dr. Richard Straw of the history department. He was quite amused when I told him about my online moniker.mdobbins wrote:"I am the real Dr Straw"
