He was pretty obvious in some places ... I think I was first to guess correctly, a couple of months ago.

So Vogon, er Lee, er uhm, will you still continue to post?

Who is Lee Kelley?

Should I run and hide for asking?

Awww...He ate my cookie!
 


Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
 
Lee used to be an administrator around here. However, there were some unfortunate disagreements which resulted in his leaving.

And I didn't realize it was he. But, then, I never thought about it.

Actually, I'm not paranoid at all. It was a few things that I witnessed that I've seen Lee do...

Like calling Omega Omeychops?

*starts laughing*

I've had a lot of fun. It's been a constant source of amazement - and hilarity - how many hints you guys missed. The people in the know (not telling, up to them to reveal themselves if they want) would come to me daily and say "I can't believe they didn't spot THAT one!" And really I'd have to agree with them.

So do I stay here? Up to you lot - although really now there's the question of whether you're mentally competent to make such a decision! Just to be clear, this is a JOKE? OK? Look! A Lee smiley! I mean,come on, who else ever used this smiley? 8)

You see, regardless of the circumstances under which I left, I did so because I didn't enjoy it here anymore. I went out and got a life. Or at least improved the one I have. But I missed you all - yes, even Frank. So I came back under my own terms.

So, there. I'm still me. I'm always going to be horrible to idiots like that Wes guy. But you do need me here, every Eden has its serpent. I'm here to show you a world without rules or controls, borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible.

Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you. }B)

I was just in my Andromeda thread in Gen Sci-Fi and saw that you called me Ed, and used the 8), in it. That was my first clue.

Idea: he's a founder, and goes back to the begining with this crew.

He called me Magnachops once.

That should have been a dead giveaway!

But seriously, The Forums have been pretty dull without Lee around... It only got better when he showed up as Vogon, so continue!

I see it as no harm no foul. Why would we not want you here just cause he have a different handle and you didn't tell use out right. So what you didn't try to cause any trouble and that is all I have to say about it. Also I never had a chance to pick up on it, I don't know lee well enough and I'm not one to look for trademark stuff.

Me: So, since I'm sure someone will kill me if I don't ask... do you think you'll ever come back?

Lee: How do you know I haven't already? 8)

From my interview for the timeline. I always wondered what he meant by that...

So, you gonna keep going by Voggie, Lee, or will you reclaim The First One, if at all possible?

Amazing. I can.

I have many names. USS Coyote, aka the Old Dog, believed to be Akira-class, NCC-70970, had a long and distinguished career before chasing one too many parked cars (despite his occasional reappearances, Marie Celeste-like, at TNO and the UP3 Forum). The First One has gone beyond the rim and will not return - and besides, one First round here is enough, bear in mind I was the First First (at least by seniority, couldn't tell you who chose their name well, first - me or Mr. Farquar?). I experimented with Don Coyote at Chris's TGL Forums. Those who remember the Risa Beach chat will recall my appearances as "An Unkindness of Ravens" and "The Anticipation of a New Lover's Arrival" (shame no-one else then around was a Banks fan and would get the latter). There are many others which even I can't remember, such as a part-ownership of Adam's Vorlon Speak. . . But what's in a name? Vogon Poet I shall remain.

OK, so what did it finally take for you to work it out? Some of the references were absolutely blatant. If someone had seen his profile, although I'm sure some of you probably did and didn't catch on, you MAY have worked it out

I'd disappeared from the forums for almost a year posting only occasionally, because it just wasn't fun any more. On my semi-regular return about two weeks ago, I was convinced that you'd found him out after seeing some of the references. I almost called him Lee then but decided not to just in case he was still playing with all your minds.

I wasn't gonna stick around for much longer, but I may do now, just to see how this one pans out.

*L* I just met up with Monty yesterday and was telling him about all this and how still after all this time and all those hints (admissions would be more accurate), still no-one had worked it out. I hadn't seen this thread yet obviously, but I suppose in a way it is comforting to know that in the worlds most powerful country, there are still some observant people out there.

Well, I noticed his smilies too, just thought anyone could use them, and not just Lee.

But I could still be stupid.

So, more Capcoms, Lee? I miss em already, *sniff*

Oh, and Welcome Back, Lee, although it is kinda too late for that......

BTW: How did you come up with the name "Vogon Poet"?

I just went back and read the original "Shut up, Chakotay!" contest thread. He capitalized the word "Coyote" several times, and made a joke about not being able to make a deductive leap. Clever, clever, clever. How could I not see it?

Welcome back, Lee.

I missed a full bloody flamewar the last time I was away. That's it. I'm never leaving here again.

Ever.

You're all my friends now. *dribbles*


And welcome back into the fold, Laton. Or should that be Rubra? Don't worry, the Edenists are a forgiving sort. Even our founder, Wing-Tist Chong, has a wry sense of humour. Embrace us. As you really are.

Tahna: "Vorgon Poet" is probably a reference to a character in the first and second episodes of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio drama.
Apparantly, besides demolishing the Earth to make way for a Hyperspace Bypass, they also write the worst poetry in the galaxy.

Having seen the "8)" smiley elsewhere, I'd ignored that.

And I don't think I ever even saw him use the "-chops" suffix. 'Course, if it was, say, in the Flameboard, I skip about 75% of the posts there, anyway... *L*

You know it is funny. Not the comical type of funny, either. Change ones name and you can be somebody entirely different, even if you're the same.

I didn't catch on, of course, but I haven't been back for long.

I'll join Frank in congratulating you, Lee. You're the master dupe, the Meistermugler.
