The clincher... yeah... well...
I made that up
.
I was clutching at straws.
The actual clincher for me came afterwards when you said:
Most people thought that I'd disappeared and didn't post anymore. I'd even said as much.
Prior to that, I thought that this guy DogT is someone I know on the forum(s) and someone who I have spoken to before.
Your emails to me were trying to be anonymous but it was too familiar. Don't ask me why.
I just thought that I should keep asking and sooner or later it would be revealed by you or someone else. I always thought it was ultimately up to you.
What really threw me off was your server IP. It said Ozemail in Sydney. I can only assume that Ozemail in Brissie is routed through Sydney. This sent me on a wild goose chase. I thought it was all those Parra supporters. Sorry to them but it kept me guessing.
The truth is I kept cancelling people out. By answering my emails you were actually helping me in cancelling out suspects. For example, in one you told me (without knowing) that you were not Bebeto.
In the end I was running out of suspects and when I saw your last quote just before you revealed yourself I knew it was you. But I still needed a few seconds to be sure. I had you on one of my lists once.
One thing I should correct you on. In one email you said I was bluffing about dropping this. I wasn't. I think you knew that. Obviously, the time had come for you to release your identity.
To answer your other question. 'Dog T - Exposed at last!' as a subject line was made up by me and the contents of the post was penned by Bronco. The name 'GrandMaster was made up by both of us after about 5 seconds of thought.
Legend was never a suspect but we thought it was good to raise the ante and push the mystery in the hope that you'd slip up.
It's no anti climax.... It's a mystery solved.
One more question. Why the name Dog T?
