This has been alluded to in a couple of places and it hasn't been denied. I am sure it to be the case that they are. It doesn't bother me, really. I'm just curious to hear if anyone else cares or has thoughts on the matter.

I just couldn't decide which choice to pick....

Great minds think alike, sntjohnny.

BTW, how sure is "sure"?

sntjohnny-->

<-- Copernicus and Cogito

Sntjohnny, puffed full of certainty, to me in another thread: "Do you have the courage of your conviction, or not? Put up or shut up."

No gauntlet to throw down here? No thousand dollar "bet" this time, big boy?

Cog/p,

I notice that neither of you have the courage even to accept the lesser "bets." You have the good sense to know that when I put money on the table, I know I'm going to win. I suppose I could put money on the table here, too, but it never occurred to me to do so. Are you saying that you would take this particular bet?

At anyrate, yea, I'm sure. However, I think we ALL know that you are the same person. So you know, Cop/g is on the right track when he says 'great minds think alike' because that is so similar to 'the same mind thinks like itself.' The two of you have strikingly similar arguments, attitudes, and approaches to matters.

Like I said, its not like I care. In fact, I should commend you. Between the two alter egos you put out a lot of writing and I know how much effort that would be.

Your jedi mind tricks won't work on me.

As intriguing as your theory is, sntj, I have noticed Cogito and Copernicus online at the same time, making it highly improbable that they could be one and the same.

Wait a minute, Rare. You believe in miracles, but you think I can't buy two computers and run them from different IP addresess at the same time? Surely, it's well worth the effort to keep sntjohnny off balance. (Actually, it's much harder to keep him on balance.)

Anthony Horvath · « **Reply #9 on:** October 31, 2006, 11:25:33 AM »

Yes, exactly what I was going to say, Cop. That's really not a difficult trick to pull off. In fact, I thank you for mentioning it first.

Although, gosh, I would hate to think you bought a laptop only so you could try to throw me off balance. I must really get under your skin.

In rare's defense, I don't think the miracle example really makes the right point. I think that rare actually was hinting that evidence would be nice, and I don't think he believes miracles without evidence, as you imply.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Here is proof positive that Copernicus and I are not the same person. Copernicus can give sight to the blind. I, OTOH, can only heal the lame (although not always; for example, I seem to be powerless to fix your lame posts

).

Anthony Horvath · « **Reply #11 on:** October 31, 2006, 07:56:40 PM »

Actually, I don't think much evidence is needed. Its a foregone conclusion, really, and I note that 'neither' of you have denied it.

Cogito · « **Reply #12 on:** October 31, 2006, 09:44:14 PM »

I've also noticed that 'neither' you nor Maj have denied being the same woman, as has often been suspected of being the case.

Mighty curious, that.

Anthony Horvath · « **Reply #13 on:** October 31, 2006, 10:26:52 PM »

I'm not sure what game you're playing at. Is there a particular reason why you can't just come out and deny it? I mean, other than for the fact that you can't?

Anyway, this thread is mainly just soliciting thoughts from other forum members. That you are one and the same is a simple fact, though I certainly wasn't going to deny you the right to defend 'yourselves' in the thread should you desire. That seems only fair. But if you're not, why don't you just pipe down so the rest of us can chat? Thanks.

On a local forum there was a rather bellicose gent who went by the handle "Bulldog" and used, you guessed it, the bulldog icon popular with bellicose posters.
Anyway, this gent seemed to be all alone in many of his opinions, which he defended poorly but stuck to tenaciously.
Then another poster showed who backed Bulldog up loyally, but without adding much to the conversations "they" were involved in with other posters. And this person used the handle "Bulldog's Wife." I forget "her" icon, but it doesn't really matter much. Many of the other posters simply assumed they were the same person. One reason was, would YOUR wife take such a handle, or would she be more likely to take her own personality and identity rather than "(Whoever's) Wife"?
The question of "both" being on-line at the same time was handled by suggesting that he/they were using two computers with an ISP that allowed multiple connections.

Oh, boy, I forgot to shave before the picture, but aren't my eyes a lovely shade of blue?

It never bothered me who is who in this forum. Truth will prevail.. and Cop and Cog don't have that. haha... they certainly lack in spiritual matters.

Cogito · « **Reply #17 on:** November 01, 2006, 12:30:10 AM »

nojc4me: You seem to be suggesting that sntjohnny and Maj are actually man and wife rather than that 'they' are the same poster.

Is this correct?

No, there is no particular reason of which I am aware. Let me ask Cop if he's got a particular reason, 'K?

[Shouts into cyberspace, "Hey, Cop, you got a particular reason to toy with sntjohnny's feverish little overworked brain like this?"

Faintly hears back, "No, I don't have a particular reason."]

Well, there's your answer. We don't have a particular reason.
