Dave seems to be about 3-4 alts to me.
Boris
Rubashev (though I've recently thought he's not an alt)
A couple others I forget right now.
If you think trout is smart enough to pull off Rubashev then you're dumber than what I thought. That's a genuinely authentic Australian character culturally, in speech, and in all other details. If it's an alt it's a damn good one. No way trout has the patience to invest that much energy.
Anyway, my work is tightening down big time and since that is the only place I can post from this will be my final post for at least a long time, if not indefinitely. I truly look up to many posters here as human heroes. The amount of great people here is too long to make a list. I will miss you all.
Goodbye
