Who is the mysterious nabla?

Ivan Seeking

Who is this strange new member - our 30,000th? And though there have been false accusations against me,

http://www.physicsforums.com/showthr...t=89349&page=7

I have it on good authority that we do have an imposter.

Could it be mattmns, rachmaninoff or Moonbear? How about Integral, z-component, or Tom? Maybe Greg... Or perhaps Zooby, Danger, or maybe even the return of Tribdog?

There is a mystery to be solved.

cronxeh

NOT me

Pengwuino

I think its Evo! I can smell an evo a mile away

Ivan Seeking

I wonder if we can get nabla to post.

Hurkyl

Why is everyone looking at me?

Ivan Seeking

Hmmmm, is this a confession?

Hurkyl

No, it's not! Or is it?

Pengwuino

*grabs the torture instruments*

Someone grab hurkyl.... we'll force him to confess. Torture always reveals the correct answers!

Hurkyl

Ack, not the soft pillows! Anything but the comfy chair!

I'm too tired to stay up and continue playing around so I'll admit it: it's not me.

rachmaninoff

Eh? Now we're accusing me? If you look at the photograph mattmns took at 3:09 PM today:

...you can clearly see users "nabla" and "rachmaninoff" logged in at the same time. Whereas, user "Ivan Seeking" was logged off for those four minutes.

Or isn't it?

Actually, I'm pretty confident that Hurkyl is telling the truth.

Or am I?

We have contacted a Mr. Eddington from Scotland Yard to get to the bottom of this. I have it on good confidence that Mr. Eddington is one of the best. He has a nose for clues and a shiny new magnifying glass. It might be sooner or it might be later, but he'll get to the bottom of all this.

Or will he?

Maybe he won't after all. It wouldn't be the first time dastardly mystery fell through the cracks in the shadier nooks and crannies of Physics Forums.

Or would it?

Ivan Seeking

One could easily coordinate such a deception. Obviously this person is very cunning.

Pengwuino

I say we ban their IP.

Whoever is against the idea has something to lose..........................

mattmns

Thank you rachmaninoff, for some reason Ivan keeps trying to take the heat off himself!

hypnagogue

Mr. Eddington has passed along to me some top secret information that independently incriminates Ivan! With two converging lines of evidence, it seems likely that Ivan is the culprit.

Or does it?

Then again, this could all just be a red herring designed to throw us all off the trail of the real trickster.

Or could it?

cronxeh

Ok.. I DID IT! I confess. I ATE THOSE COOKIES! There, happy now?!

rachmaninoff

Why, thank you!
