Ok, thanks.
So Lacero and Spicyapple were the same and was a he.
Guess that clears up things a bit, but raises some more questions as well.
I actually got a PM from Lacero at one point wondering if I was on another forum due to my avatar being similar to someone's on another forum. The username shows up in quite a few forums if you google it. It could become the new rickroll... go to a forum, create lacero, post as much as you (and your friends) can for a year to make a name for yourself and then disappear. Watch the speculation and hullabaloo when you leave.
I do remember a thread (I think about coffee), where Lacero mentioned a wife, however IIRC (s)he was Canadian so I guess that didn't necessarily mean what I think it means.
Interesting.
I enjoyed reading his posts in the past on PRSI forum.
Checking his user profile, I see that he still posts once in a while in various areas on MR.
There are a few who have retired from the PRSI forums, of course I keep mentally merging solvs and zimv20 so I guess I hadn't noticed zim's absence.
