How about our man, DUNADAN?? Hmmmmmm??

I think Tilt is onto it with this comment above:
"Marvin Snyder has built his Kansas garden around mini conifer trees."??

Yeah, Dunny YOU'RE in Kansas. Dorothy might not be, anymore, but you ARE! LOL

We can guess all we want but to me there is no way we can find out who he or she is.

Oh an noone get mad..it's all in fun. Plus Scully just has a marvy look about her! *grin* And just think..between the 3 of them, they could find a way. I don't feel like checking her "story" about MG posting on the SG trip...Chili...got a paralegal or legal asst. you can put on that detail? *huge stoopid grins*
And along with WD..i'm just to lazy to troll

A Marvy (sic) look about her??? Ok, that's just wrong!

Have you seen the movie The Fifth Element? You know the guy that holds up Bruce Willis at his apartment door? With the metal hat? That's what I picture when I think of Marvy. Cracks me up every time!!!

Picturesque MARVEN GARDENS, whose name is derived from "Mar"-gate and "Ven"-tnor, is located on the line which divides Margate City and Ventnor City, New Jersey. It is noted for its LUXURIOUS HOMES, each one UNUSUAL AND DISTINGUISHED in Architectural design. An old English Tudor manse adjoins a colorful Spanish Colonial which, in turn, faces a French Chateau; all are encircled with WINDING SIDEWALKS and driveways, adorned with GORGEOUS SHRUBBERY and stately, trees."

The post about Ramps is no clue. Marvin got that off the internet with a little bit of cut and paste. You can find the text s/he used for the post at: http://www.loc.gov/folklife/fcn/Fall98.txt

Marvin has a good m.o. - s/he is the first troll since Dr. Laura who has an idea worth stealing. If I had the time, I'd run my own variant of Marvin. Yeah, I have enough time to find out where Marvin gets posts from sometimes, but not enought time to do a "Marvin."

Trolling takes time and energy. Thats why "Plain Hiker" stopped posting so quickly.

Thanks, pedxing. I, too, found the text while looking for a decent picture of ramps this morning. (See my link on the string, ramps, which is
Picture of Wild Leeks, Morel Mushrooms & Fiddleheads

aat the bottom of the page.

"Trolling takes time and energy." This is why I thought a teacher, especially in English, could be MG. S/He could use the students to collect trivial information as projects or for extra credit.

plus there are several that haven't posted in a long time.

I think the idea that there are only a handful of females on this site has been proven to be erroneous. It appears that the ladies make up about 30 percent of the total (and about 5 percent of the trolls).

Briar, they haven't posted in a while, but yes there are quite a few ladies that occasionally pop in. I didn't look at Phil's site, but I'm sure that would jog my memory a bit.

Sorry, Lizzy, that would require too much intelligence and deviousness for me. Besides, I believe in Marvin and he has promised to help me translate to the next dimension when the sh__ hits the fan.

I saw a post from Freedom a few weeks ago.

I can't find a link to Phil's page anymore. I'm sure that I have it bookmarked somewhere, but I was going to check for some more ladies among the photos. I think I am missing some California hiker people. And there was some new girl that deathmarch99 was flirting with (probably one of Kleetn's trolls).

I don't think you should STFU, but I was just noticing your compulsion to catalogue the females of TT.

Why, thank you, I think. The truth is I have only trolled as Dunadan's evil uncle Ernie.

awhile back I suspected it might be Buddha Bear

but now I'm seriously starting to suspect Kleetn, yup it's a possibility

We knew that you were joking, Tilt and Violin.

I'm thinking about going back to using my LyndyS username instead of Splash. It feels more like me.

Have you noticed how many young ladies sign on here with a question. They are all 26 years old, and we answer their questions and never hear from them again. I guess the demographics are wrong for them, or they aren't real. I was thinking about how so many of us on TrailTalk check in everyday. We probably know more about each other's day to day lives than our relatives do, and yet we don't even really know each other (except those who actually hike together). Anyway, I don't care who MG is, but I appreciate all of you, even the argumentative ones. Just keep some things to yourselves (you know some people give TMI!) . Have a great day, enjoy the Spring.

However, this person is somewhat intelligent and entertaining, so I say "Keep it up!".
