One week later...

A week ago today, in a memorable cyber-disaster, ATU I was shipwrecked and the surviving members took to the lifeboats:

:

Exactly one week later, I think it can safely be said- in imagery appropriate to Easter week- that ATU II has risen from the dead:


The Resurrection- Piero della Francesca.

New site (thanks to SJ)
30 members.
2065 posts.

A quite extraordinary cyber-achievement.



Congrats all round.

Me too.....

to you all!

...sj's alter ego had a thing about rescuing bunnies, I do believe.

And of course the modesty

How is that even possible? ER only has 46,000 threads and scores more active members...

I think Pinz must have meant 80,000 posts- not threads.

One time I calculated the overage productivity of ATU members vs ER members, and was quite a revelation. (which is not to suggest that we are making the best use of our time ).

The average posts per Er member when I last calculated was around 58. The average posts after 11 days here is around 80 I think and from what I last remember calculating the average posts per old ATU member was around 463.

There is a rumour around that in fact you are LJ

Who is LJ? ooohhh...the suspense is killing me. Am I the only poster on ATU that isn't from ER?

An ATU poster does more than that before breakfast.

The top 5 maybe.

LJ is the most prolific poster over at ER , like Pinzhed he is a must read poster.

I can't wait for him to recycle the six-monthly high-end record player post, I am praying to the Lord for the tenth repeat of the Ten of Swords post, and have all but forgotten what the You-could-waterboard-this-song-and-it-still-wouldn't-give-up-its-meaning post about Mississippi was all about - or have I?

Must-read poster for Alzheimer's patients, I'd say.

he posts interesting stuff on Facebook also, sometimes

Yes, he recycles a number of his obsessions. (Don't we all, I think to myself...). He's often worth reading though, I think. For a more varied Stan/LJ, try his blog 'These Things Too'. I do, sometimes.

i read his blog sometimes also, when i see something of interest.

sadly , i haven't been on Facebook much lately,
i seem to be more on here and ER.

Let them prove it, that's all I got to say.
And supposing I am LJ--which is not in any way to suggest that I am--you got a problem with that?

Certainly not , but if you are I do not bother with your blog or your facebook out pourings.

of course we all know that pinz and LJ are 2 different people.
emu mr watson is just having a senior moment.

we have seen pictures of both of them, and heard their stories.
2 totally different people, thank goodness.....

Is it nice to tell a person that?

So is the rumor that pinhedz and LJ have always been the same person, or that since the deletion of old ATU, LJ has returned here and assumed pinhedz identity?

And if it's the latter--what happened to the real pinhed? Why doesn't he speak up and expose the hoax?

I realise that sounds rude . But I rarely read anyone's blogs these days. And I only go on facebook rarely.
I am well aware that lj and Pinzhed are different that is why I made up the rumour for a bit of fun.

There's really no way of knowing for certain.

True but either way it does not really matter.
