[cool][#0000ff]Sorry, but his original posts were lost to antiquity during one of the BFT changeovers. It goes back a few years.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]For the benefit of the unknowing, UTC is the alter ego (like Batman) of a formerly more active BFTer who was a big part of the early stages of growth on this board. He is an accomplished angler, as well as a clever and funny word merchant. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]His first post was an attempt to lighten things up during one of our periodic testosterone meltdowns, when all of our fun-loving fishermen grow fangs and try to prove who is the highest, fastest, bestest, cheesiest guy on the board. His tone was to take potshots at those who did not have such overdeveloped egos that they would not take him too seriously. We played along, with righteous indignation, and it helped lighten things up for awhile.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Evidently he saw the big UTC light in the sky and realized that we was once again needed in BFTville, to try to calm the troubled waters. Sadly, he is playing to an audience of folks who are too new to remember him...or his credentials. Thus, he is perceived as just another of the current crop of wackos trying to make the board self-destruct.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Kinda like a UN peacekeeper setting up a luncheon buffet for the leaders of the Jewish and Islamic worlds...and serving ham sandwiches.[/#0000ff]
