Introductions

[chilly_charly]

At last we know for sure !..

I'm both pleased and disappointed with tst/Yair true (?) identity.
Pleased because, although I never published my guess, I had localized tst with less than a 100 km error.
Disappointed because I still had a secret hope that he would be a she.
Now the next challenge is to discover his eyes color...

Thanks to Ben (and to tst 20 mins later) for pointing me to this utterly decisive thread 😄

so what about that picture of the couple sitting down in front of a house..

Sorry, as Ed (I think) pointed out in one of those threads, it was just a random picture taken from the web.

I kinda figured the Israel connection out (i'll let you figure out how).

To be honest, I don't know (and I wouldn't mind knowing).

The easiest way would be to check the IP addresses for the LAVA user. This would give you a definite answer, but would mean you have to make the connection between the two user names (not a super hard thing, I admit, but one which would be hard to prove conclusively).

Other than that, there were quite a few other clues rolling around, so I can't really guess which of them you're refering to.

Well... the biggest clue that you were not North-American was your registration number: 27860 which is relatively close to CC's (34024).

or at least not originally N-A..

CC:  good to see you back buddy!  Are you showing up at NI week?

WHAT??!!  Now that one I wouldn't have guessed!! 

hehehehehe...  LOL!!  You had Altenbach excited there for a moment!!  LOL!!  hehehehe..  😄

I knew it wasn't a blondeGrrrrl for sure..  I almost thought Chris was playing games with the rest of us, including the other Ray (F).

Shalom (Spelling?),

It doesn't surprise me that you're located in Israel.

The Hebrew references were quite a give-away.  Granted, there are people in other places of the world who know Hebrew, but it's a pretty good indicator nonetheless....

Plus the fact that you tend to post quite early in the day.  Even earlier than me, which hints at a position to my east.  Then again, maybe you were posting late, and were somewhere to my west...... I suppose if I go west far enough, I'm east again.....  Whooa, I'm getting dizzy.....

JLV, the user IDs are probably just an auto-incrementing number and have nothing to do with where you're from. The earlier you registered, the lower your number will be.

tst,

I see you've changed your signature and your icon.

But how do you explain your previous signature about "5 stars is enough to get her home"?  I thought that indicated you were a woman.

[tst]

Actually, that last icon () was the cover of one of Dire Straits' collection albums.

The signature was "Lucky stars give her just enough to get her home" which is a line from my favorite Dire Straits song, Lions.

It doesn't actually have any meaning (in the song it refers to a girl reading the astrology section of the newspaper on her way home), but regardless of how hard I tried, I could think of any line in all of DS's repertoir to be appropriate as a signature, so I just chose that one, because it reminds me of the song and could sort of fit. I wasn't actually planning on staying with it. Before I had it, I changed avatars regularly (it helped to confuse people  ), but then I just didn't feel like it, so I got stuck with that one.

you had Miss Piggy at one time didn't you??  LOL!!  😄
