So WHO is this IB Adrian so and so?

Well, he is me... "FTE Fred"

My real name is Adrian - but due to conflicts of interest with my old position at Ford Motor Company (I was one of those nasty service engineers that come out and reject your warranty claim when you have blown your head gasket on your tuned 6.0l)... I didn't want my real name to come up in google search (least of all on a Ford related website!), so I used the "Fred Smith" moniker.

It kind of stuck... well that is until now.

So, hope you all aren't too angry about me being a lieing cheating so and so.

Regards,

Adrian

I knew your name was Adrian the whole time, I just didn't know why you called yourself Fred...The reason I knew is I have been stalking you for some time now...

So I'm curious, how did you pick the name Fred in the first place? And are you male or female?

Well I think it takes a big man to admit to the whole site that he has been lieing this whole time. I know I forgive you. But you know the rest of these reprobates. They'll remember and bring it up when you least expect it.

As Ms. Mayor Hottie, you can have him put in chains and handcuffs you know.




But, on second thought, he might love you long time if you do that.

Well, it's about damn time!

I had an alter ego back in my teenager hacker days. He still follows me around, but I don't associate with him much because he likes to get into trouble
