You won't believe this.
First, background.
Poet, as a lark, had two SI accounts for a while. I think there was a free sign up period. Pure lark, no stock talk, just for the fun of it, under the name twee. (PeopleSearch doesn't locate it.) She posted maybe a total of 50 times, lost interest, hasn't posted on it since last June, almost a year.
Very few people knew she had that account. Me, two other girlfriends, Christopher Hodgkin, another pal, that's about it.
She just got a PM from SI Jeff saying that it has just come to his attention that she had that account (the one she hasn't used for a year) and so she is suspended for 15 days.
What's more, St. Bill is suspended for 15 days, also! Jeff suspects that Poet and her husband are the same person!
I would like to say at this point that my husband and I and Poet and St.Bill spent the evening together on March 13, so I am a personal witness that they are distinct individuals.
So... in case anyone wonders why neither Poet nor St. Bill will be posting for 15 days, it is because SI Jeff has just learned from someone that Poet, a year ago, posted, for the lark of it and for no more nefarious reason, as another person, and because he thinks St. Bill is Poet.
I personally find this development hilariously ironical.
I'm going to send this to Jeff now. I hope he will note that St. Bill and Poet are not the same person. |
