  1. LOL, just reading my earlier post – end of the last century would be a few years ago! I think Miss (or Mister more accurately) Chiff’s fireplace was from the 1890’s! He’s probably watching football right now, so don’t expect to hear back from him for a while – go Giants!

  2. I recall Miss Chiff posting earlier in the week about someone’s slate mantel in the Forum, noting that s/he is the owner of an Eastlake style home dating from the end of the last century. I believe bxgirl rents, and *all* of us(even those like myself who rarely post) know that La Madame Tuffet can only covet a mantel, thus leaving BRG (do they have mantels in Bay Ridge), the What and Lisa (each very doubtful) from InsertSnappyNameHere’s list. I think it is none of the above. Rather, it’s a going on middle aged male. So I immediately thought Biff – especially given Miss Chiff’s clever handle, but he’s denied it. Whomever you are, Miss Chiff, I am your number one fan, and wish you all the best in keeping La Madame Tuffet pontifications in check. Thank you very much for the community service.

  3. Ok, Montrose – but I did like the idea that you had ‘gone rogue’ and decided to give a few people an unrestrained piece of your mind! [Or maybe that’s just what I would like to do!]

    johnife is around – I’m pretty sure I saw a comment in the Forum recently.

    Ok, after Snappy put the shred of doubt in my mind last night…I’m putting Lisa back on my list.

  4. Hi folks;

    I feel like this is my “15 minutes of (blog) fame”.

    InsertSnappyNameHere: your short list is correct. Keep at it! You don’t want me to just name the person, do you? It’s more fun if you keep using your power of deduction! By the way, I love your handle.

    bk14: NOP is still definitely posting. I saw that he posted a couple of times this past week. I “think” johnife is still around, but am not sure.

  5. Not exactly related, but since this if the first open thread I’ve ever read, and it discusses commenter identities, is johnife still posting on this blog? I used to enjoy his comments. His and NOP’s.

  6. Cobblehiller, trust me, it’s not me.

    First of all, I’m self employed. I spend way too much time on Brownstoner as Montrose, God help me if I start in as Miss Chiff (great name, btw). My next move would have to be asking for donations to pay my bills.

    More importantly, I fully admit I don’t know enough about housing markets, pricing, and real estate trends to go full tilt bull/bear with anyone, especially Miss Muffet and some others here.

    Cross my name off the list. Sorry.
