Intrepid1 - are you driving steam trains again? Where are you - miss your pro-train posts!

I believe he posts under a new screen name. It starts with "D" and ends with "ukey."

Valuable information...i've have my language experts compare posts from both and see if both are the same. thanks a lot - he's one of my favorite posters as i Dukey so solves that!

I'm very sorry to report that you are both mistaken.

I've been told not to believe anything you read on the Internet so my sleuths are still investigating.
Dukey - you're under investigation - take notice!

Dukey sounds like a Brit to me and i know IntrepidOne was a Yank. I may be wrong about Dukey being Brit though so the investigating continues.

No it's not Dukey - forensic analysis of sentence structure proves that. So where is my friend IntrepidOne?

I always presumed Dukey was from North Carolina, and that's where the name came from.

if its not Intrepid, why would Dukey even open this post?

Ah - good point, i guess Dukey reenters as a Interid1 suspect - he may even have changed his writing style.
That Dukey hasn't reentered and replied again makes it more suspicious. Still don't think it's Dukey - and i hope he's not really a Carolina Dukey as though Duke is a fantastic university i'm a Dukey hater as per basketball. (Duke is a perennial b-ball power.)

However, I am not Dukey, nor Intrepid, and I opened the post.

At least I don't think I'm Dukey. :-?

I'm confused now, I'll get back to you...

yes - opening post was circumstantial evidence at best!

Dukey writes:

So guess he's a Yank and back to being number one suspect of being Intrepid1 - come to think of it he has lots of sage comments on train travel much as Intrepid1 did - so i guess Dukey may well be Intrepid2. That he could be a real Duke-y is bothersome but we won't hold that against him/her.

What I really want to know is this: who is Handmaiden? But I think I know the answer. That Handmaiden sure is stirring a lot of sh*t on the thread about going to the Vatican. If my suspicion is correct it's kind of funny, but I could be wrong and/or the comments made may actually be more heartfelt than sh*tstirring. Hopefully not. Let hope for a return to comments about Prada capes and blue haired women from Nebraska and leave religion off the table.

IMO it's not Dukey - compared posts and not all that similar so if it is Dukey he's changed a bit - much more prolific now than even before. But i like em both!
