I just read this for the first time right now, it's funny but I was never in doubt that cool chick was a young woman and I had guessed attractive. Why? I dunno, even though it is theoretically possible to "become someone else" on the web, every person from this board that I have met in person has been more or less exactly who they appear to be here. And it's been a lot of people, and a pleasure to meet most all of them.
The one bonafide fake, (Yankee 911), was not the least bit convincing, IMO.
Mullholland, Tabs, Island911, etc., are all real people who are not trying to hide who they are. Ian Morton is some other jagoff, not even really remotely similar to Tabs. I would bet any amount of money on that one. Tabs is many things, but not a false identity guy, I'm sure of it.
And Jack Olsen is
definitely really Jack Olsen, suave Hollywood screenwriter and owner of BB2 and (2) Whippets.
