@avclub-16db446cafb1ffb1466e71eaf97a4f49:disqus : Are you really going with that? I mean, it's not as if both pseudonyms don't work. I know that I'm not the only Halloween Jack out there, so I just concentrate on being the best. (Actually, I don't have to concentrate on it, I just am, but you know what I mean.)
