I didn't realise the tickers were credited until you mentioned it Mal. Seems like my grey haired bloke was written by Mr Umpire. It must have something to do with the last comment made.

I did email Nice Admin lady when you mentioned you had the credit for my ticker (eBay to review PayPal Infallibility after direct debit abuse scandal) though I didn't get a reply, or the credit.

Just an oversight again, I am sure.

I blame the editor. He doesn't know the difference between 'author' and 'last poster'. How would he like it if they re-published The Best A Man Can Get by David Mitchell? I was trying to remember that Paypal one, Virt - cheers. I guess the system is that if the credits are displaced long enough it'll all work out fair and square in the end.

Ah! Thats probably why my post "Billionaire buys Independent for £1" that ended up on the ticker was accredited to Virtuallywill who was the last poster

Lets put it down to teething problems ...

Sorted now, (this one at least) by the powers invested in little old me. Let's see if it happens again but if it does, then jolly well shout. Credit where credit's due and all that. It's lucky Wogan's no longer on air, or he'd nick all of them.

My 15 minutes of fame has finally ended...

15 minutes? I'll have you know I suffered a 12-hour 'misplaced identity crisis'. This morning, I even got an email addressed to 'Mr Lover' informing me of various medical drugs I might like to try to help me live up to my name, which I returned 'not known at this address' and gave them yours instead.

I still think that Mr Glover Lover wrote it.

And I still think you're suffering from intermetamorphosis, smyke. Or perhaps a similar form of delusional misidentification syndrome. It's hard to tell which.

Sorry, I was mixing you up with Alberto Contador. He wears a yellow jersey, too.

Oh, this old thing. It was a Christmas present. People are always mistaking me for Contador. I really must change into my polka dot jersey and get mistaken for Franco Pelizotti instead.

Thanks for passing on those emails Malgor, I got a package in the post this morning. They're for a *cough* friend...
