Now this is interesting...

After looking for the insult post and the hatpin post, I thought to check IPs.

I can confirm that your post that I'm replying to was made from the range 205.188..., which is also the range from which the first "urgal101" message on the hints board was posted. So you're probably the real deal.

But here's the interesting part. It looks as though "urgal101" posts came from two different IP ranges in addition to that one. 64.12..., and 152.163.... And, indeed, the hatpin post came from 162.163....

But the kicker? The insult (I presume you're referring to http://www.rinkworks.com/rinkforum/view.cgi?post=86774 ) was posted from your range. And... dude5416, the person who was insulted in that post, came from the same range. So either you share your computer or network with someone else (in which case you need to talk to that person) or you're talking to yourself (perhaps having a little MPD for breakfast?)

But there's more. smrtguy used both 152.163... and 205.188.... And here's the most interesting part: Another person posted from 205.188.... That person was "someone". "Someone", as in http://www.rinkworks.com/rinkforum/view.cgi?post=86791 . And, indeed, the Urgal appear to be a race in "Eragon", a book by Christopher Paolini. So I submit that urgal101 is the answer to someone's challenge, because of the same-IP thing and the Paolini thing.
