To all of you that seem concerned about Garr using a sockpuppet account: I was refreshing this thread constantly when Inaba accused Garr of using a sockpuppet account to post and I never saw that happen. I think Inaba photoshopped the image he used. Think about it a minute. Who constantly snap screenshots so fast that they could catch a posting that couldn't have been here for more than a few seconds.
Ok, then we need to ask Theymos if the IP address matches for both Garr/Werner accounts. Either Garr255/Werner is committing fraud or Inaba is committing libel. One has got to go.
No - we don't need to ask Theymos that.
All we need to ask is whether the werner account made (and then deleted) the same post that Garr subsequently posted (which can be checked). Checking IPs would produce a false negative if the werner account was run through a proxy - and possibly a false positive if wener was someone close to (but not) Garr (though it would still be dodgy having a family member or whatever bid on your auctions to pump the price)..
If the werner account didn't make the post at all then there's then zero reason to believe it's Garr and it would mean Inaba faked the only direct evidence of a link.
If the werner account DID make the post then obviously it IS a sock-puppet of Garr's - and with the auction bids that plainly deserves some sort of untrustworthy or scammer tag.
There's no point asking Garr - as he's obviously lieing either in his apology or by attempting to infer that his apology is untrue. Asking a liar which of two contradictory statements is the truth is obviously futile - as why would you believe the answer?
