I like a mystery myself, so I decided to try to determine what was missing from JT and PT's exchange last night. Jon's "2" message provides the best clue, if you click on the "reply" to that post.
Message 7196325
In the reply, PT refers to "personal attacks" - a quote that does not appear in any of JT's posts in last night's exchange.
As a "rookie" detective, having gone over the evidence at hand, I provide the following as my assumptions and MY conclusions in this case, based on that evidence:
1. In his "1" and "2" posts, I assume that Jon resorted to his old tactics of threatening to report PT for "personal attacks."
2. What personal attacks? I assume that Jon felt that the post that PT made about Jon's time and money spent on this board was a "personal attack."
3. I assume Jon changed his mind about the threats and went back within the 15 minute time frame allowed and replaced the original messages with the numbers. Notice that the 1 and 2 messages, his next two posts which were unnumbered, and the "3" which actually contains a response, all occurred within 15 minutes!
4. Now, as to why the change of "heart"? I assume it was because Jon did not want to bring undue attention to PT's posts, and/or the fact that they really ticked him off.
5. Why the posts with only numbers? I assume he replaced the original messages with numbers to ensure that the actual content was removed.
6. Then, why the 3? I assume this was added to that particular post to provide a coverup and/or explanation for the prior two numbered posts.
Of course, these are all assumptions on my part and only my personal opinion. This mystery was fun while it lasted, but now it is time to get back to the business at hand - the future of Zulu Group Ltd!
Next.......?
Have a great day everyone, enjoy the moratorium.....
