That this Forum doesn't only have two users... me, and someone else who has many, many accounts and many many personalities... and even more computers.

I'm scared now.... :eek:

If I were you, I wouldn't follow that line of thought any further, Icarus.

You might get too close to the truth and get burned.

I don't get it myself, I was just copying LazyOtaku. I was hoping if I got in quick enough it would catch on and scare the pants off New New Loftea.

NS General is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

From chatting with you on Gabbly -- which, I should add, YOU'RE NOT ON RIGHT NOW! :p

"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We can reduce the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits."

How do I know that you aren't the person with many, many accounts, so I'm the lone person with one account, and you've just created this thread to try and throw the wool over my eyes?

I raise an excellent point, for which I have just discovered further evidence, look at the thread title:
"How do we know"
Not, "How do I know", but "we." Now, wouldn't it be most unusual for someone who truely believed themselves to be in conversation with only one other person (who is pretending to be many) to use plural first person, when refering to themselves?
Most unsual indeed, unless the other person really were the conspiracy. A conspiracy of one, crafted for the sole purpose of driving me mad. Well, it won't work Mr. Everyone Who Isn't Me, because I am onto you, and I shall be watching all of you like a hawk.
