    Phoney Shadow Member on Login?

    I have been noticing that a "Taylor" has been logging-in shortly after I log in although Taylor's login time is always listed as having occurred a few minutes after mine. Taylor does not appear in the member roster and emails sent are not sent and are not recorded as being sent. Here is a link to Taylor (if it works): http://www.largeformatphotography.in...hp?9603-taylor

    What's the story here?

    Ooooh, he's been shadowing you for 8 years. <insert twilight zone music>

    I wonder if you made that account 8 years ago, forgot, but the system noted your IP and says you're active when it sees you again. Either that or something MUCH more fascinating.

    Back then I would have had a completely different IP address.

    My guess is that "taylor" may live in the same geographic/time-zone area and may have a similar free-time schedule. (I'm sure that no one logs in during work hours. ;-) )

    Highly unlikely. Can't the moderators check and see if this is a real forum member? Sure doesn't appear to be.

    Weird. Today his last activity was 2 minutes before your last activity. Maybe "Taylor" is a premonition of what you are about to say..

    Maybe I'm wrong. When I look again, you are still here and Taylor is now gone. Or did you stop thinking for a moment?

    When I logged on this morning I immediately checked to see if he was listed in the online section and he wasn't until a few moments later.
