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. :-)

No.

Bran-"For the center of my signature, I will include an explanation to my deliberately short post. You see, some people access Rinkworks from home and work (like me) and will therefore have different IPs depending on their location. Others (like my home account) have a rotating IP, which means their ISP assigns a different IP number each time they log on. This will prevent 100% reliable IP based identification. Good idea tho!"-don
