They would have to log in as that user and then look at who may be in the list, not something the new mods can do.

Bioler is a combination of letters that looks like it should be an actual word. I Google searched it to see if it was, Googles reply, "do you mean boiler".

My first thought on what a bioler could be, was, a musical instrument controlled by biorhythms.

Then I found out that there appears to be a US patent for such a device.

My final conclusion, I spend far too much time Googling trivia.

From the online dictionary

Ler – the personification of the sea and the father of Manannan: corresponds to the Welsh Llyr.

and

bio – a combining form meaning “life”

so a bioler must be a living personification of the sea!

Me, I'm off on the Internet with Ron!

Manannan was reputed to have the power to bring down a dense sea mist to protect his Island (Mann) from any attack – sounds as tho you have hit the same fog

He doesn’t seem afraid to use this trick during the TT, the island must be under attack quite often.

In my case, four things make for spelling errors.

1 Fat Fingers

2 An inability to type with more than two fingers.

3 Haste and forgetting to proof read before hitting SEND

4 A Wifi keyboard and mouse that are slow / fail to react. Pity I wrecked the hard wired ones!

As John Laurie would say "I'm doomed", as is anyone trying to read my posts.

Generally posts are good natured. Few get bitter and twisted, and possibly Neil removes posts that are getting too far outside the pale.

Good to know that we now have more folk prepared to watch over us, and protecting us from trolls, hackers and others with evil intent.
