I can sort of see the point of him asking if the murderer is
from this board.....Porsche involved in something, this is a Porsche board, thus the question. I’m sure a 924 was used in the real case, or they would not have used it in the re-creation, so there is someone out there who was driving a 924 when he
committed that horrible crime. It’s not really that far a stretch to ask that question. Although, I’m quite positive if the murderer was here, he would not fess up to it being him and having to ask that question is obviously moot.

I myself, have often wondered if there were any famous people or “murderers” on this board (or any board, for that matter). Sure we traded pictures and stories, but who is to say that what we see over the internet is the truth? I know the trust level
amongst us all is very high - probably the highest I’ve EVER seen on any “chat” or “forum” site I’ve ever visited - but I can say, without a doubt, that there HAS to be at least one or two people who are on this forum (or have paid a quick visit) that have something to hide - be it something positive (like a celebrity status or something) or something negative.

I’m sure someone here has had a brush with the “internet effect” - that being when you think your talking/chatting with someone and they turn out to be something totally different than what you believed. I once chatted on ICQ with a girl for like 6 months, only to have her tell me she was married after we created somewhat of a trust level between us both (and she was so damn cool - it sucked). You could very easily chat with a “women” for a while and then figure out (thru common
sense) that perhaps it’s not a female at all. I have actually met a person on the net who I have ended up meeting in person (I only did it once) and she was who she said she was (very cute girl from Malaysia who was in my town on business). A friend of
mine was not so lucky. He saw a picture of a girl with whom he was chatting and ended up meeting her at a local hotel, but she was about 300 pounds bigger than he thought and not quite as attractive. What are these people thinking? Setting up
meeting times with someone they KNOW thinks they are someone else - very odd.

Anywho - the point is you never know who is who over the net. Albeit, in all of our case, I’m sure we all have a pretty good idea that Ribs is Ribs and that Craig is just plain silly and the regulars can be totally trusted - but doesn’t anyone here ever wonder
if there are people on this board who could just be people who wish they had a Porsche and come here to “pretend”?? Am I crazy in thinking that?

Who knows who is reading these posts. Perhaps people right from the Porsche factory looking for tips and free market research. Perhaps Jerry Seinfeld himself is reading this
right now saying, “yada, yada, yada” to himself. Who knows? But asking if a murderer is here is a bit over the top - but I do see the thought process.
