I just wandered into this thread like a voyeur, like
he must be a scuzzy guy for somebody to post it in NVG. But when I read through the posts it didn't scan that way to me. It just doesn't quite add up to the conclusion that the OP came to if you don't know any of the people by name or reputation.
