I would add that the Beau Peep members are notorious for messing around with things - well, I am, with all the jokes we have played on Roger through the board and with private forums - but I guess in those instances I did have others who were in on (and could informally sanction) the joke.
At least you have access to others away from the general view of the public. Perhaps I could have messaged before I tried it - but below applies
I too would like a little more from Bill. If it was just him being unthinking and stupid, telling us at least would be good.
That's it exactly - I didn't think at the time, although there was no malice or cheating intended (I did not use 'mikey' then my own login for scoring).
I do regret having affected the scoring for those two days.
It was wrong to 'experiment' whether one could pose as an anonymous player. This proves that one can't. I also wanted to find out how quick the responses could be in reading the question and then knowing the answer. It was way faster than any of the real top scores. Whether you believe it or not, the 'experiment' was concluded after the third go. There was no intention to cheat or claim credit for any score.
There is no decent explanation other than this, but you are probably not interested in my response anyway. Unthinking and stupid about sums it up.
There seemed little point in elaborating in my previous 'post', but at least Vulture liked the pictures. The 'Bye' is down to the assumption that I have committed an unforgivable act in doing this 'experiment' and would not be welcome. I also assumed the login would have been cancelled anyway.
If that's not enough for you, Tarquin, I don't know what else to say.
