I'll second Kevin on that one.
Jim didn't log in with his real name. He used an alias and therefore his account was deleted.
Knowing that he was fully aware of the requirements of no-alias, he must have done it with a purpose in the back of his head. I can only assume that he was trying to do it in order to be able to falsely present himself as an innocent victim who was wronged.
If Jim is claiming otherwise, then unfortunately he's either not completely honest in his statements or his way of diving in the last 20 years, "since before everyone was out of their diapers", must have taken a toll on his memory and sense of truth.
What does all this bickering have to do with the OP initial question?
You might give the OP the respect to take it somewhere else.

But they get guys like you, Kevin & Jimmy B ( who I think is Tom as he spells and talks just like Tom) to make fun of guys like me who are the "Old Guard"
