Interesting as no-one actually knows who he is.

So it would seem

Someone, somewhere must know or have an inkling as to who this person is.

 

[woof woof]

I saw this and was mildly amazed... but wasn't there a story some time ago about someone who reported from all over the world from his bedroom????

It's bizarre how people invent and live out fantasy lives on line. I prefer Marvin's view (HHGTTG) I think he said something to the effect that life's bad enough as it is without wanting to invent any more of it.
