LOL - nice one!

Magiccb - I'd dearly love to take you under my feathery wing...and flap you to death very, very gently :lol:

Guys......(and magiccb); I think it speaks volumes that we've suddenly witnessed this 10-page thread appear, with absolutely no comment from any of the Mods (not even Seige, who ALWAYS jumps on stuff like this....assuming it's a genuine poster :wink: )

Let's face it - we've been stiffed! :shock:

:x ARRRRRGH! :x

I now have a horrid headache in trying to follow this HORSE PUCKY...

I can assure you all that magiccb is not me but I do believe he's tipped his hand more than once via his constant references to the Svengali deck. He is a member and he probably used the CB initials on purpose, in hopes of dragging me into this game (he and I have tormented forums together in the past but he didn't warn me of this particular stunt).

I'm rather confident that no one has come up with who it is as of yet and from what I know of the possible suspects, I don't recall seeing his name there. :wink:

If it is indeed our resident Svengali expert and pitchman... he really needs to get out of the house more!

Really? Only fifteen minutes ago you were asking seige to tell you who it was!

at least it whiled away some minutes i suppose...

it would of helped if it was, y'know...funny too...but you can't have everything...

it would of been far more explosive if he'd of done it in the Mentalists Only section...

though i predict he'll come back on, deny it all and start again under another new name...
