122. Replying to my own post in order to answer a PM and an edit of the OP

I received an IM from user Cali_Democrat, to whom I responded above. He asked me to look at the edited OP. The edited part of the OP states:

"Apparently I've been locked out of this thread, but I can respond using edit. To post #121....please provide a link to this accusation. Pretty please? With sugar on top? How in the world would one even change a screen name?"

My response:
I had a question, not an accusation, and that I took some pains to explain that I didn't recall the situation clearly, but I did think I had remembered you mentioning that you used to have a different-but-similar username, either with a hyphen instead of an underscore, or no space between--something like that. I'm not able to provide a link to that which I wasn't sure about in the first place; I hope you'll understand. If that wasn't you, then my question is asked and answered, and I'm sorry for getting it wrong.

Thanks.

It's a pretty neat trick to be able to respond in a thread you've been locked out of. I salute your ingenuity, if not your circumnavigation of the rules admin opted to put in place.
