Big thanks to Petrol Head for stirring the droppings.
Looks like we all have our theories. Guess we’ll never know until someone comes forward and claims credit. Although Lol Nol might be onto something. Edit: pedros too.

No, but I might do. It’d attract more page views than your “look at me! I’m eating oysters! I’m classy!” posts, which are made all the more tragic by the fact that oysters normally cost a buck each, even in expensive restaurants.Miguelito wrote:Oh no... here we go again.
Have you compiled a list of his banned sock puppets as well?

Pelican has put that $250,000k top tier firm brain to work over a protracted period and come up with quite the theory.
Put it this way, you’d need to remortgage the house if he billed you the amount of hours he’s spent concocting it.
Put it out there with anagrams as discussed, Pelican!
Haha - my money’s on Playboy
Well if the youngster is reluctant to put his theory out there, let me do it for him. Fuck knows he has been banging on about it for the last year to anyone who will listen on FB.
In brief, SP thinks GA is gavinmac. I don’t know why, nor is it clear why he is being so coquettishly shy about it here. Perhaps he would like to elaborate on his theory here.

Just for that I think I'll invite Meo Deo out for some oysters so we can post about them together.Starving Pelican wrote:No, but I might do. It’d attract more page views than your “look at me!

I'll happily post more reviews and experiences of anything from Michelin starred meals (I recently had a disappointing one in Bangkok), to 5000 riel street side borbor (as I did in a cheap eats thread). I enjoy food and drinks, I don't think that makes me classy or special, it's just one of my hobbies. So shoot me.
As for Gibbon, for what it's worth, Scobie, GavinMac and Playboy all know me personally, yet GA never made one comment about me. Therefore, I always suspected it was someone that I have not met.
There were times when I "suspected who he was",
But I never reached a point where I could say with confidence who he was.
But after so much time, is he still relevant to this site ?
I'd have to say no.
If you keep looking at things behind you, you will get run over by the traffic in front of you.
I prefer tomorrows sunrise to yesterdays sunset.
So to condense my post into a yoda comment.
Why does the noise from a butterfly wings makes you angry,
" You worry to much over this. "
So do I give a fuck as to who GA was,
No I don't.

I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

Actually I had rock oysters topped with "caviar" and a bottle of Prosecco last night at Sonoma. The plain Vietnamese oysters are $1 each and there is 20% discount on food (excluding French imported oysters) and alcohol between 4pm and 6pm which I think is a good deal.Miguelito wrote:Just for that I think I'll invite Meo Deo out for some oysters so we can post about them together.Starving Pelican wrote:No, but I might do.

Lol. Not sure anyone should trust your memory here, given that, since you sold the site, you’ve bleated on about how you’re “done with 440” and how “it’s not part of your life anymore”, yet here you is, in about your tenth incarnation since the sale.Dallow Spicer wrote:Well if the youngster is reluctant to put his theory out there, let me do it for him.

I read it now and again. And i wish it well. What's your point? And various friends now and again point out threads that might be of interest.
Stop deflecting, and explain why you have obsessively clung to this ludicrous theory that gavinmac is / was /whatever Gibbon Arms, when i patiently explained to you several times there was absolutely no evidence of that from a technological point of view. You are as obsessed with propounding the gavinmac theory as gavinmac himself was of pushing the AiA theory.
The most likely theory - and one I believe has a lot of merit - is that GA wasn't a regular poster at all, at least not when he was posting most. He was a much earlier poster who left many years ago, but one known to several key posters for a very long time - since the dawn of 440 in fact.
