eNtRopY
Yeah, it was him. After I made a joke about him taking himself out of the gene pool, he later added that he was just joking... but all know the truth!
Actually, I liked Dx. He was one my favorite posters. He was always posting the nerdiest things that one could possibly say. I always wondered if he was trying to be funny or if he was just a bit nerdy.

Ah! Morp! It's morp, the guy who thought QM was a conspiracy specifically designed to confuse him...
Presuming I am right...
"Given that this Mind fulfils the requirements of omnipotence; omnipresence; and omniscience, I conclude that this is the Mind of God."

In case you're right I'd have to laugh loudly and shout out loud: LIFEGAZER
If that is correct, try this one;
"Even so, the radio is only a receptacle. In which case how do we know that our mind is not just a receptacle either? Or, say part of a "grand stage," where everything is broadcast live? ... and we're just part of the "live" entertainment."

Ah, FZ was right and I'm nearly 100% certain the quote FZ posted had to be from LG, so it is possible that I've got the ball again.
Sorry zoobyshoe, but that was not the member I pulled the quote from.

Here is another big, long, hint;
"As for the number 666, what it represents is two thirds, and hence the second of three degrees: the first being 0 to 333, the second being 334 to 666, and the third being 667 to 1000. Which would be about right, for if you portrayed a symmetrical cross, where the top, bottom, left and right (sections) were equal in length, then by adding "an extension" equal in length at the base, you would have these same three degrees portrayed by the height of the cross: where the first two degrees (666 and below) exist below the horizontal plane, or "cross beam," and the third degree (667 and above) exists above it. So in this respect the number 217 (as opposed to 216) would be similar to 667."
When I read this only one member comes to my mind. How about you?

Not to side track but going back to that entropy quote, I'll go with philophy forums- though I find that hard to believe- I didn't see him in there much- of course he left just as I was getting started

This sounds a little like Qantumcarl, except that he usually makes more sense and this thing is just bizzare.
