Thanks, Popol Vuh and ethanedwards, for being so alert.
I'd like to offer a thought here.
If you notice, there is a huge lag in time between the two join dates, almost two years.
These two profiles obviously belong to the same person. Perhaps Michael couldn't remember either his user name or password from so long ago, so just registered again. I have a friend who did the same thing, and there were only a few weeks between join dates :lol: ! She just couldn't remember the user name she had selected, and hadn't saved the original email validating her membership.
So that would be my spin on it. I don't see any evidence of intentional subterfuge (he wouldn't have used exactly the same info if he was trying to fool us ). If he couldn't remember his original user name, he wouldn't even be able to find his original posts. In fact, after two years, he might not even remember having registered before (after all, he only made one post). But it is good to be on top of these things, and I thank you again.
As to Michael's claim to being John Wayne's cousin, who knows? Obviously, he isn't taking serious advantage of it here.
I hope Michael will come back and share more with us. It sounds to me like he may only have met JW one time, and it would be my guess they are distant cousins at best. Not much to capitalize on, but it's interesting, especially to a group of JW fans.
