Lactodorum Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 This will not come as a surprise to some but may do so to others. I have decided that now is as good a time as any to let you know that in another life Lactodorum is actually The Hornet Since becoming a reviewer/moderator I have maintained this second account and some semblance of anonymity. As time has gone on more and more people have become aware of my true identity so there seems little point in keeping it "secret" any longer. For reviewing activities I will still be Lactodorum, mainly so I can separate admin type e-mails from my normal account and can keep admin logs on caches etc. separate from my normal caching activities. In case any of you are concerned that The Hornet might be getting a FTF or mutli-cache advantage I can assure you that anything Lactodorum approves will never be attempted by The Hornet until at least a week has passed and usually more like 2-3 weeks. This is more than enough time for my aging brain to have forgotten co-ordinates, hints etc. You can check this out for yourselves by looking at recent DNF logs on caches I attempted as The Hornet after approving them as Lactodorum If there's a new cache local to me that I might want to attempt I get my friend and colleague Eckington to approve it without me looking at it. So there we go. Quote Link to comment

+Naefearjustbeer Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I think I had already worked that one out from the sense of humour shown in both accounts posts there was a similarity but I couldnt of been 100% sure until someone else confirmed it to me. If it had been me that had 2 accounts everyone would know by the bad spelling and grammar in both Quote Link to comment

+Omally Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 That's a relief... I got a few comments from people accusing me of being Lactodorum! So what do we call you now that we all know you're a gestalt entity occupying two sets of space-time co-ordinates? LactoHornet? Hornodorum? Quote Link to comment

+Lizzzzeeeee Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I found out who Eckington was when he sent me an email from the wrong account by mistake - funny we'd only been discussing who THEY were that day!!!! Quote Link to comment
+Lizzzzeeeee Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 OK so we now know Lactodorum is The Hornet and vice versa, but what is the connection between The Hornet, Lost in Space and Seasider??? I'm really confused . . . Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I have decided that now is as good a time as any to let you know that in another life Lactodorum is actually The Hornet How fitting then, that my first ever cache was one of yours, Sidmouth View. I remember saying in one of my approval emails that I was hoping you got a chance to get out caching as well as doing all that approving and moderating. No worries on that count obviously! Cheers, thanks for all your efforts. They're appreciated by all I am sure. Quote Link to comment
+The Hornet Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 How fitting then, that my first ever cache was one of yours, Sidmouth View. It's ironic that if The Hornet submitted that cache today, Lactodorum would turn it down for being a holiday cache. Times change OK so we now know Lactodorum is The Hornet and vice versa, but what is the connection between The Hornet, Lost in Space and Seasider??? I'm really confused . . . Lost in Space is a frequent caching partner of mine. A few weeks ago we were joined by Seasider for a pleasant couple of days caching in Kent. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment
+Seasider Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 what is the connection between The Hornet, Lost in Space and Seasider??? I'm really confused . . . You mean me, dad & grandad?!! Seasider Quote Link to comment
+Mr & Mrs Hedgehog Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I thought that LIS and The Hornet were related... Uncle/nephew or something.... or I could be wrong... Mr H Quote Link to comment
