>>>You you and Martin must be talking about this, but Pugs and Bob are not the same person. Talked to both of them, just not the same person.<<<

RBM,

You, of course, could be right, BUT.........

The coincidences are overwhelming. Let me list a few.

1) Up until recently (this thread especially), bmart hardly ever posted. When he did it was only when Pugs had been sent to the SI corner. Since the time that Pugs was permanently sent to the corner, bmart's post have increased substantially.

2) "Both" have a very similar style.....pick a few basic points, then hammer away at them endlessly. On the other hand, bmart has adopted a very gentile approach (using Mr. and Ms.) and being very polite (in order to not get kicked off SI again, IMO).

3) "Both" seem to have a reasonable knowledge of physiology (Pugs has a medical education) and is/are able to throw out medical terminology at will (although, it seems that bmart missed the cure for rickets by one letter.....we'll give him that).

4) One of the more interesting "coincidences" to me is timing. It seems that bmart only posts when Pugs is on-line. For instance, when I got home tonight around 9:30pm Eastern Time, Pugs was not on-line. About a half-hour later he came on line and within 10 minutes, bmart started posting....Pugs went off-line about a half-hour later (say 10:30) and, interestingly, bmart stopped posting. I have observed this regularly for the past several days.

Now it could be that Pugs calls bmart and tells him that he is on-line and now bmart can begin to post. Of course, again, it could be just a coincidence. But I have learned a long time ago not to believe in too many coincidences.

Now, you say that you have talked to "both" of them......do I believe you and the incredible coincidences, or........
