Gotta cover all your bases there eh? Just have an insult ready in case something goes terribly wrong?
Well okay then...
ABF has it exactly right. At first my total lack of this data was just because I honestly didn't see any benefit in people knowing. IT defined very neutral treatment, and it was better than otherwise. Now it's because I like the mystery. It's a game to me, as he said. The truth can be found in many ways, as it turns out. On THIS site, the evidence for a definitive answer is hidden all over my posts in the message board. I've left enough clues that anyone who would take up such a quest would find the answer well enough. Basically, I want people to WORK for such data. They will have earned the knowledge upon completion of da quest. As of yet, no one here has even STARTED the quest though. Maybe it's too hard?
OB1: Oh I get it, this is the part where I say "there's no way it's too hard for me! You''re on, I can figure this thing out!" right? Hahaha... WELL I WILL! You'll see!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
