Subject: [SPAM] Who is Tybalt?

Just idle curiosity.  Who do you think Tybalt is?

Popular theory:  White Wolf is Tybalt.

I don't think so.  I don't think WW would have any problems moderating this
list if he had the time.  He doesn't strike me as the type to use a
pseudonym for this - he's had no compunction performing moderator-type
duties under his own name before.

My theory:  Taleswapper is Tybalt

Dunno why I think this, other than a vague similarity in their writing
styles.  Taleswapper is an infrequent contibutor to the FFML, but he does
stay abreast of developments there.  It isn't hard for me to imagine him
occasionally prodding the FFML to behave itself.

Weird theory:  I am Tybalt

Ha!  This post is a convuluted effort to keep you from discovering that I am
Tybalt.  Now I shall continue my nefarious plan to rule the world!

Anime theory:  Nabiki is Tybalt

Well, wouldn't she like controlling the lives of us pathetic little
fanboys?  :)

Cognito, ergo Tybalt:  We are all Tybalt

Tybalt is the collective consciousness of the FFML, given form as a mail
account on WW's server.  It's kinda creepy to think about.


Just so you know:  At one time I was convinced Jeanne Hedge was Tybalt (she
is a moderator over on CompuServe) and confronted her about it.  Her
response was something like.  "Sounds like a nice theory.  But who is
Tybalt?"  She convinced me she isn't.

Any other ideas?
