I’m a poster, not a reader, young man. There are threads that I decide are not my cup of tea or are so rife that I’m deterred from reading them. With due respect to my Gasroom friend, @Shev, his remarkable series of threads cleverly constructed along FA Cup lines, fell into both categories.
Other cup competitions are available.
Talking of Gasroom friends, I’m sure I’m by no means alone in greatly missing @Wendoverman.
It will come as no surprise that I couldn’t read hundreds of posts without feeling compelled to comment on at least a significant proportion. That must take incredible strength of character (or something).
The more obvious interpretation is that @MorrisItal2 is saying that he also reduces his posting over the summer but to a lesser extent than @Wendoverman
Quite happy with that description @Malone, although not really one for hugs.
The 2 account thing is one of the finest gasroom conspiracy theories.
Morris, a cool rocker and Wendo, the king of painting pictures with satire, who gently teases the more angsty of posters, doesn't strike me as a tie up though.
I'm very happy to take jibes aimed at me from all comers, as said I do dish them out myself, though I'd gently push back at your "for some unknown reason" opening gambit... I would say that @MorrisItal2 responding to a post saying it was a shame that @Wendoverman disappeared over the summer by saying that, never fear, he (@MorrisItal2) was still active was an obvious reason to make the link. Whether it was worth all the push-back and subsequent discussion... I'm with @Midlander on this one.
Well it would have been an obvious reason if it wasn’t for someone posting beforehand that you could check on someone username to see when they were last active.*
But clearly @aloysius was too busy to read back and @aloysius therefore did make @aloysius look a little bit silly.
*And thanks whoever did point that out. I hadn’t twigged that you could do that and like @micra i was a little bit concerned about @Wendoverman’s extended sabbatical.
Two accounts were a breeze on the old Gasroom. I shared an office with a common IP address with two colleagues who posted as ‘Loakes Park Local’ and ‘Loakes Park Loyalist’ respectively just to counter each other’s comments.
Whilst I was always @perfidious_albion on the old site my alter ego was ‘juniors bead of sweat’ when I had something I considered controversial to say.
I’ve just got back from a Father’s Day dinner and I can categorically confirm I am the one and only @MorrisItal2 I’ve never had a separate log on here (The good doctor has my permission to confirm that) and you @aloysius are a fuckwit.
I could confirm this @MorrisItal2, but it wouldn’t satisfy @aloysius as that would just be confirmation that the gasroom moderators are alien lizards wearing human suits feeding on the blood of Wycombe fans by luring them to the basement of a pizza parlour by drugging them from the air with our chemtrails. What do you think those holes in the Frank Adams roof are for eh?
@Chris and @micra (acknowledgement to @aloysius) share an affection for the Kent Spitfires. If they don’t beat Gloucestershire this afternoon, I may need a hug. I thought I was going to need one earlier this afternoon when, watching my overnight recording of the Australia v Scotland T20 match, whipping through it in 10 minute stages, I was 99% sure at one point that Australia were indeed engineering a Scotland victory which would have eliminated England.
I sincerely hope that I won’t be in need of consolation later this evening. No good looking for sympathy from mrs micra. She has an unnerving tendency to laugh (which is strange in itself) when England or Wycombe concede. To be fair, she probably isn’t sure which shirts are which.
I’m greatly relieved to realise, thanks to the explanations above, that I am not losing my mind. @aloysius’s mind clearly works in an intrinsically suspicious and antipathetic way, even resorting to putting words into @MorrisItal2’s mouth - imputing to him the words “never fear” in an effort to explain how he could have made such a crass error of judgment.
Just a final word or two in a desperate attempt at defending the indefensible. I do remember @MorrisItal2 having three other usernames which I think he still does. But he only uses one.

What’s happened to @Wendoverman ?
He takes a summer break from the Gasroom. I wish he didn’t.
He's still watching if not posting. Take a look at his profile and it shows when he last visited.
See what you mean.
It will come as no surprise that I couldn’t read hundreds of posts without feeling compelled to comment on at least a significant proportion. That must take incredible strength of character (or something).
I feel guilty now. Like a peeping Tom.
Oh, okay I guess I reduce the number of posts I make over the summer but I don’t pack my bags and cancel the milk.
Wrong account @Wendoverman (also, busted).
Must be tiring going through life misinterpreting every harmless statement as some kind of underhanded scheme.
Sorry, @Chris. I must be cracking up. I genuinely don’t understand either post.
I’m embarrassed to be seeking an explanation about something that is probably self-evident to everyone else! 🌛 (halfwit)
It's a classic gasroom personality clash between Chris and aly.
One who is the mildest vanilla you could possibly imagine who probably posts on various "do you need a hug" forums for disaffected groups.
And one who is keen to lash all and sundry with conspiracies, pounce on perceived shortcomings and radiates pure cynicism.
I will let you decide which is which.
I think that's very harsh on Chris!
For some unknown reason, @aloysius thinks because of @MorrisItal2’s post that @Wendoverman and @MorrisItal2 are the same person using two accounts, and that @Wendoverman made the post using the wrong account.
The more obvious interpretation is that @MorrisItal2 is saying that he also reduces his posting over the summer but to a lesser extent than @Wendoverman
Quite happy with that description @Malone, although not really one for hugs.
Does someone need a hug @Chris ?

Fascinating reading this
Surely this is a forum for the disaffected?
I wish I had the energy or time to have 2 accounts ! But I really can't be bothered, and without doubt I would mess up one night after a few drinks
Feel free to add something fascinating young son

I'm sorry you feel that way @MorrisItal2
Any incoming transfer rumours?
Apology accepted.
This is very much the case @Chris but perhaps I was a little short with @aloysius .
I could confirm this @MorrisItal2, but it wouldn’t satisfy @aloysius as that would just be confirmation that the gasroom moderators are alien lizards wearing human suits feeding on the blood of Wycombe fans by luring them to the basement of a pizza parlour by drugging them from the air with our chemtrails.
