It's scary! When's your posting date? I guess I'm lucky that mine isn't until the end of October.
Also, a quick question. Can you tell me if it was every definitely established who William the Poet, the supposed spoiler source, was. I know 'he' was a fraud but have forgotten all the details.
October 10th. And I still haven't finished the rough draft (so much for earnest resolutions).
As for WtP, I don't think it was ever indisputably proven, but Ww1614 tracked it down fairly well. I don't remember the details but she zeroed the IP address to being in a particular city on the east coast (I don't remember which) and that all of WtP's names and history traced back to two related accounts with the same last name. One registered to a man and another to a woman. I really don't remember the details (though I think some of the info may still be logged somewhere.) Ww1614 could quite probably tell you the accounts that WtP traced back to. The proof was convincing enough to me and as far as I'm concerned definitively proved WtP to be a fraud as far as any speculations of show connections are concerned. WtP was just some random poster on the internet having a good time using all sorts of vague B.S. to allow people to convince themselves that WtP was someone that they/he/she wasn't.
Thanks for the info, Lisa. Believe it or not, the reliability of WtP as a spoiler source has reared its head again - this time on IDW. Not that I'll mention any of this info unless someone gets really insistend that WtP was really Steve DeKnight or something.
