Welcome, RELStuart! It's good to see you here!
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

sherlock12 is a spambot, and will be history in a moment.

In our brief time together, Sherlock 12 and I grew close. If you had just stuck with him, my precipitous Prim, I feel he might have developed into a second-class poster, capable of sympathetic responses and shallow observations and the occasional easy touche, sort of like, oh, you know, what's his name.
I really should come out more.

I know! I know!!
It's the capital of, um, the erzatz capital of, um, Bulgaria where Mahima and I met in pre-production for possible rolls in which we would strive to restore the true capital of Skopkjeh to it's previous reganduere. Coffee enthused us briefly, but then was replaced by brandy any then by no sense at all. It feels like yesterday.
Mmmmm. It vas Zchacolote. Now I remember.

Don't mind baby tuckoo, Sophia. He likes to confuse people, not least of all himself.

Unfortunately, the true story is much less exciting. But something I would be wary of disclosing till I know you better (for a very mundane reason)
However, bt I would love to meet you in some capital of some exotic country (i.e. one I haven't been to before), to.... restore... whatever... to previous grandeur. Sorry, reganduere.
It would have to be cognac, not brandy

If it's a really weird name, chances are it's a bot. As we all know, Holby is attuned to the really weird.
The profile of a bot, the full version an admin sees, is full of pretty definite indications of botdom. Taken all together, it's 100%. We just delete them. Sometimes they try again, and then we disallow the name.
They can't post if we don't activate their permissions, but there have been bots that put offensive links into their public profiles, so we try to snuff them out as quickly as possible.
