I use mobile so I can not edit the quote, but there are what you asked for, inside the quote.
One more post for the thread, on the access of theymos to [Suspicious link removed] DNS.
Please add.
Of course not, do you really need to ask?

 - I was made a forum admin in 2011, after Satoshi left. (Silk Road also appeared after Satoshi left.) I didn't have any special access to bitcoin.org until around 2013, and in fact I didn't even have any access to the bitcointalk.org DNS until 2013.
 - I've never bought or sold anything on Silk Road, Hydra or similar sites; nor did I have anything whatsoever to do with their operation; nor AFAIK did I even have interactions with anyone involved in running these sites. While I am opposed to drug laws, I have never used illicit drugs, and in fact I also abstain from alcohol & nicotine. Furthermore, since the beginning I have warned over and over again that Tor is not secure against active government attacks: I wouldn't be found dead running one of these sites.
 - I never had any interaction with CSW. I don't have any keys related to CSW's (probably fictitious) SSS thing.

CSW's whole shtick is to just lie constantly. He's so brazen about it that some people think, "there must be some truth there," but really it's 100% nonsense.

I admit I was a little tempted to troll the world by roleplaying CSW's allegations as totally true...

theymos is one of three admins, in 2011
The active administrators are currently:
theymos (me)
Gavin Andresen
sirius

Sirius runs the server.

If this true than explain how can Theymos made administrator of this forum without any knowledge of programming. I have read his post from the very first one and nothing indicates he had any knowledge of programming.

Gavin Andresen and sirius are extremely good programmers according to my knowledge while Theymos is not. Seems to me Theymos himself is Satoshi Nakamoto under a different nick which would explain how sirius and Gavin Andresen allowed him to become the owner of the forum. On archive.org I don't see that the forum is existed on forum.bitcoin.org in 2009 or 2010.
