Dave, my boy, Don't discount the possibility that everyone but Davey, Mal, and Birdy could be just one person!!!!   Or, on the other hand, maybe each one of those other posters could actually be multiple persons at each posting computer!  Oh, the humanity!

Lies?

Of the 9 traits, only number 8. lends itself readily to the written word (ie: this forum).  All others really must be spotted one on one in real time.

"No.8. Changing subjects frequently. This is a signature trait of a skilled liar, as they do not even want you to elaborate or ask questions about a specific item or something they have just said. Instead, it is easier for them to ‘flit around’ from subject to subject or idea, and limit elaboration at all costs."

Who does that describe?
