Ok, I have reported a PM from 2012 to Global Moderator Hilariousandco which contains my email address quoted. I hope he will confirm it and respond soon.
A quick question that you should be able to answer:
Do you remember why you are in Bitcoin?
(I think I remember)
Also, would it be possible for you to sign a message with a bitcoin address with some substantial amount of bitcoins in it?
Assuming you are the real BTC_Bear, I guess it'd be safe to assume you have at least one or two, let's say ten or a hundred BTC wallets lying around?
I'm not trying to turn this into a witch hunt, but anything that could convince me of your identity would probably help.
