Please note: countryjoe is a troll, same person posting under multiple forum names, sometimes participating in the same threads under two names. (note that forum admins get additional info about posts, so this is easy to determine)
It is disappointing to me when a regular user decides to adopt an alter ego like this. Especially when they are using this alter ego to insult people.
Anyway, countryjoe (and your other forum names), please grow up. To everyone else, please ignore him(s).
Have Fun!

Thank you Peter for letting us know.
It's not the first time a user has taken multiple user names on here. It's rare that that an owner of a forum would step forward with a post like yours.
I appreciate it, as I'm sure a lot of other users do.

Thanks Peter,
Very disappointing that the great team of genuine members here occasionally gets exposed to non-genuine outsiders with 'undesirable' directions.
I have often wondered about both the quality and direction of the posts from that cj fellow. Shame on you cj. Very poor standards...
Thanks for the tip-off

Many thanks, Peter.
This is a great forum and it's a shame that it should suffer by the actions of individuals with unclear motives.

Thanks, Peter.
I couldn't follow his logic anyway. Hopefully he'll get his dosage adjusted.
I sincerely appreciate the excellent job that you and the moderators are doing to keep these PG Forums a pleasant family place to visit for music discussion, friendly, innocent banter, friendly exchanges of encouragement, and wholesome fellowship.
Trolls stick out like a proverbial sore thumb and don't last long. Thanks again for your diligent housekeeping.
Donny

I was an admin of a board and a mod on a couple of others. Trolls are very taxing and often time consuming. I was always amazed that even with different names and/or proxie IP's their identity was always obvious. I recall banning the same guy three times!
Thank you for keeping this board community oriented and a pleasant internet spot to hang out.

I have seen this happen a few times in the cakewalk forum. The admin's would delete the user and block his IP if it really presented a problem. And through the years, several got handed that treatment.

Apparently, a violation of forum rules 2, 4 & 11.

Peter,
Have you figured out who "Country Joe" is? Is doesn't take the CIA or a forensics lab to figure it out.
Look at the language in the MP3 lunatic ravings. Look closely at the vernacular. He has given himself away. There is only one place in the world where this language lines up. He is your customer. You have his address. You know where he lives. Look closely. I am sure you have already figured it out.
Drunk people leave sloppy trails.

Thank you for the heads up Peter. Yes thanx. It is so sad that we need a heads up for a low life.
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

I remember may years ago when the forum was seriously trolled, apparently as part of some weird social experiment that did nothing but result in discord, anger, and confusion.
I just don't understand the motivation behind doing such things.
Good riddance! Thanks, Peter!
