A certain person known as fiddleabout is the reason for the reputation.
Those were the days
...Threaded get/earn/develop his reputation?
i.e. is he the font of all wisdom or a Syed Ahmed stylee BS merchant?
he monopolised the pie industry in scandanavia by eating them all thus creating a shortage and therefore his plan b was to sell pie's to locals..
that and he invented a time machine, bought loads of cars to go with his multitude of houses, has worked for every secret government ever AND told them all they were wrong.. the list goes on.. you can find most things threaded related at threaded.com. His spidey senses thought the obvious website name would never be detected.
Come on, enough of the cryptics we need straight answers otherwise this trip down memory lane will be over before it's started.
Is this the great man himself:
