I'm not so sure. I doubt SI Admin would allow two people to have Steven Rogers as their moniker. From the post I linked..... Sequence of events: 1. I posted on the SI thread, and was told not to by my own people. 2. I decided entirely of my own accord, no prompting from anyone, that since I couldn't post as me, I would post as someone else and provide useful information to all. Dumb. 3. I received permission to post as myself, did so on SI, and was invited in completely good faith, by people who knew nothing of any of this, to post here. 4. I decided with huge relief to get rid of this fictitious person forever and just be me. 5. The computer remembered who I wasn't, and announced it to all, as you noticed. Message 20953626

Thanks. I'll wait to see what emerges. But the Stephen I know seems to be a straight-up guy. Of course, on the internet nobody knows you're a dog (woof, woof), but OTOH, in most of this country (SI excepted, of course) we wait for reasonable proof before accusing people of misdeeds. For our legal system, it's innocent until proven guilty. For SI, it's guilty as soon as a rival or enemy accuses you of anything.

I think they are the same person - the earlier one was just a trial membership which posted once on the Titan Motor thread. If you take a glance at the early pages of that thread, you'll see that the Steven Rogers everyone knows was a heavy poster there from the beginning. Subject 17236 Post #4 was the Steven Rogers trial membership the other posts on the same page were by the Steven Rogers everyone is familar with Free lance writers have to make a living.
