[QUOTE=Brahmabull]I do not know of the history of ED.[/QUOTE]
I also read back some on the subject out of morbid curiosity. With respect to the esteemed BB, I would suggest that ED's history can be well summed up in the preceding posts. I gather that the owner of Excellent Dude and other monikers used various screen names to offer various personalities. ED has no real negative post history because the owner of that screen name wanted to keep it clean. But other screen names associated with that owner were used to defame and flame, fret and threat, and otherwise cause trouble.
People with greater skills than I when it comes to computer knowledge have divined that the owner of ED is in fact the owner of other screen names associated with ill will.
I guess history is best remembered by those who witness current events and not those who attempt to understand it after the fact.
