...Meanwhile, I seem to be living in nostalgia these days while waiting for simultaneously new, significant, and credible evidence to appear (hey, it could happen)…
Perhaps the most fun I had on this blog back in the day was for a few weeks in 2007 reading the posts of a blogger going by the tag “Ivorybill Septic” — he (or she, but I think he) wrote a parody blog skewering the rest of us on all sides who blogged about the Ivory-bill, and he was welcome brief comic-relief from the vitriol surrounding the discussion at the time (the name was a take-off on Tom Nelson's then "Ivorybill Skeptic Blog").
Before he disappeared into the shadows I tried deducing, using “content analysis” of his postings, who Ivorybill Septic was, and felt I had narrowed it down to 2 possible culprits: last initial “V” in Washington state (at that time), or “D” in Colorado (I know their names, just won't give them here), but could never quite nail it down… Just a fun mystery, never resolved, but cool to employ content analysis to attempt it.
So anyway, the jig’s long up, if you’re out there somewhere I.S. (or someone who knows of them) maybe let me know who you were and what you're up to these days, writing humor for the New Yorker, or SNL, or what!? ;) (I’ll keep your identity confidential if that’s what you prefer), but back at the time, you made my day... and 17 years later I can't type "Ivorybill Septic" without chuckling... ('cuz somehow, all these years later, the name still seems fitting!).
