I've actually toyed with the idea of proposing that we *intentionally* impersonate the regulars in this forum, for the sake of parody and a little fun. I figure anyone out there who can use fifteen commas and a good dose of parenthetical statements in multiple paragraph-long sentences, and take ages to get to the point (if there is one), can do a perfectly passable "Issachar" post. Probably some folks out there could do an ersatz "Howard" post, a parodied "GreenJeanz" post, or a faux "Faux Pas" post (sorry, couldn't resist). And, of course, the person who responds to each and every one of these imitation posts has just successfully impersonated a "Darien" post. :-)

Is it Iss.....or is it Memorex?
