Question for Repentantvoter

| What an excellent question.
And with a little investigation, I have found that the IP addresses and host names of both repentantvoter and dmaftei are exactly the same.
Does attbi.com ring any bells with dmaftei or his alter ego repentantvoter?
Have you been posting with two user names?

Question repentantvoter:
What forum do you moderate at iCertify.net? I've noticed a new member in that forum (who is an old member in this forum) asking the same questions you are in this forum, specifically this thread:
iCertify.net thread -
.http://www.icertify.net/index.php?n...iewtopic&t=1494
Examnotes thread -
http://examnotes.net/article1040537.html
Very interesting....he even has a BSEE and MSCS like you do.
I believe what forum I moderate at iCertify.net is irrelevant, sir. However I can assure you it is not one of the Cisco forums, since I am an absolute beginner with regard to network administation in general, and Cisco devices in particular. My expertise is in other domains.
I would think that the fact that myself and somebody else asked the same question in different forums is a quite common occurence. As I already told Mr. Sexy Lexy, answering an inquiry from him, I found that question in a practice test at iCertify.net. To my knowledge, the answer was wrong, and I asked for confirmation. I chose to ask here because I observed that this forum is much more animated than others. As for the gentlman you are referring to, I have no way of knowing his reasons for asking the same question. I can only assume he also discovered the mistake, and asked for clarification.
As for the BSEE and MSCS, I would think that is quite common. After all, electrical engineering and computer science are closely related fields indeed.
I hope this addresses your concerns, Mr. forbesl. I am forever indebted to you for the quality of the (few) discussions we had here, and it saddens me deeply to see I have caused you a discomfort.  | |

Quite unsettling, indeed, to find myself suddenly under investigation. I can only hope that the presumption of innocence functions here as it does in other places.
Mr. Sexy Lexy, I have no way of explaining why my IP address and host name match those of the gentlman you are referring to. I suggest, if I may, that you inquire at my Internet Service Provider to discover the source of this confussion. attbi.com does ring a bell with me indeed: my current Internet Service Provider is Comcast, and Comcast bought attbi.com, I believe, a year ago. I hope that helps in the investigation!
I do confess, however, that I make use of more than two usernames. I am a registered user at some five or six certification sites (and moderator at one), and at each site I use a different username, something that reminds me of an event in my life. Then I associate the site with the event. The username I use here, repentantvoter, reminds me of an election when I voted for somebody who turned out to be bad. Therefore, I became a repentant voter. Then, the mental association I use for ExamNotes.net is voting for the wrong person. | |

That's what I thought.

He tap dances pretty good doesn't he, Lexy? | |

"Tap dance", sir? I do not feel inclined to do any kind of dance, sir, as I find myself under unjustified suspicion. | |
| dmaftei 2004-04-28, 11:17 am |
| You've got yourselves a new victim, huh? You cannot go one week without harrasing somebody. Pathetic... | |

Well, I don't know about "unjustified". There are too many coincidences for you and dmaftei NOT to be the same person:
1. Both posting the same questions in two different forums.
2. Both have BSEE and MSCS.
3. Both coming from the SAME IP address.
I've already made my decision, so you can quit tap dancing (unless you're doing it for the benefit of other forum members). 
I really don't care if you did pop in under a new name, I just think it is interesting (and kinda weird) that you feel the need to do so, especially since you're trying awful hard not to sound like dmaftei. The fact that you are just WAY to polite raised a red flag with me. | |

Not to mention the same host, but they both already knew that.
Dmaftei, who is harassing anyone here? Forbesl asked a question and I looked into the logged IP addresses.
Guilty conscience perhaps? | |

I cannot explain phenomena that are beyond my control, sir. And a string of coincidences is beyond my control indeed.
I am not trying at all to not sound like somebody else. I take pride in sounding like myself, sir. As for being "WAY too polite", I have difficulties understanding how that can be a problem. As I explained previously, I prefer to err on the side of being too polite, rather than being impolite.
That being said, sir, I hope you will not be offended if I stop answering these most peculiar inquires, and resume my quest for knowledge.
Thank you! | |

| This reminds me of a rascal called gahouf who was a deadly dumper who kept portraying himself as an anti-braindumps guy.
He did it successfully for a couple of months and then he tripped and fell at last. Poor guy was chewed and spat and booed off stage. Haven't seen his posts since.
Now…. I don't understand how 2 users could have the same IP adderess..... sounds fishy to me.

Crazy, ain't it? Same IP, same HOSTNAME, same questions asked, same degrees. What gets me is that he continues to deny the obvious. Kind of childish on his part.
He refuses to answer which forum he moderates at iCertify.net also, which also sounds like he's got something to hide. | |
| Sexy Lexy 2004-04-28, 1:18 pm |
| Would the real dmaftei please own up?
Mistakes happen, IP addresses are logged for each post. Pretty soon they will match up again.
| |
| forbesl 2004-04-28, 1:22 pm |
| Maybe he's got a split personality (or three or four) and actually thinks he's the other guy. | |

Yeah, Lexy, what's up? What do you want me to "own up"? | |

| I only wish repententvoter would stop talking like a Saxon princess from the old ages.
I don't think dmaftei and repententvoter are the same. But it's just strange how our CCNA forum is really becoming truly "off-topic"

methinks we should have a "Justice Forum" somewhere.... | |

Another reason why I feel he's a fake. Oh well, if he wants to play games, the playground is all his.
I started this off-topic thread, so I'll take the heat. I'm done cooking now.  | |

| Don't forget to take the pill before you goto bed. 
the flamming pill, that is. I see your temper isn't bad these days. You must've lost the pills.
Ah... or you took them all once that day. Please don't overdose again forbesl. | |

| If I post from work I have same ip address as 33,000 other employees because we proxy. Actually it depends what coast I exit and a couple of other factors that I won't go into, but you should get the point that it is easy for many people to have the same IP address.

| ISP's use NAT right. So that could be another reason why so many people might have the same IP address. | |

True, but many people also pay the extra $$$ to get a static IP or IP's from their ISP. It's really hard to tell who is and who isn't proxied just by looking at a source IP address on a posting.
Maybe....maybe not....I remain unmoved. | |

| You two, Lance and Lexy, think that I suddenly became so shy that I'd want to hide, but still be around you?!?! "Most peculiar indeed!" He he he...
Get real, folks! I left this place disgusted by your attitudes, and I have no intention to come back. The least you can do is just leave me alone. | |

Go figure! You don't understand how I ended up posting in this thread, huh?
Look, Lance, when you first showed up here I thought you're a bit of a jerk, but a smart one. Lately you've been hard at work to prove the "smart" assessment wrong...
Changing the channel now. Hope you and your buddy will stop investigating and start leaving me alone. | |
| Sexy Lexy 2004-04-29, 1:03 pm |
| Sorry to see you go.
Take care.
