Was gonna point out Eugene9, but it appears I was beat to the punch.

Well, maybe not totally quiet....here's one to check

ybatgvna006 (rot13) profile

Looks clean at first look, nothing on SFS but Googling gets some strange results. Lots of forum memberships, all quite recent and a wide and weird range of subjects. Most appear dormant but a couple have 'fluffy' posts - 'yes I like that' - that type of thing, and location seems to be worldwide! one in China one in France etc.

In the time I drove to work, somebody beat me to it... I wonder who that could be...

Turns out I was wrong - it was the Big D...

Retirement from the Guild.

I tagged my first spam on Jan 9th 2011 and since then have tagged well over 600 spammers and spambots both as a standard forum member and since 17th March 2011 as a journeyman Spam Assassin. I am proud of this record, and also pleased that in all this time I think I have accidently tagged (in good faith) only two or three genuine members. However I now feel that my work here is done.
With three Master Assassins now active I feel that Journeymen like myself have become a little redundant, and in fact are simply duplicating work done by the Master Assassins. With their full access to all the necessary information, in conjunction with the obvious dedication they show, the Master Assassins are able to detect and confirm spammers far more quickly and efficiently than I or anyone else ever can, and of course they can finish the job as well.
So it is my intention to cease all spam-spotting activity and retire graciously from the Guild.
I will be able to channel my time and energy elsewhere and will be spending more time on my OXPs etc, which I'm looking forward to, and of course if an old Tagger would be of any help in a future crisis I will always be ready to answer the call.

Sorry to see you go, Smivs! But having you bend your efforts towards more OXPs will be worth it, I'm sure. Don't let the sword grow rusty in the scabbard, though ...

We will stand down your Katana, and hang it on the wall, and it will be taken down once per week and ceremoniously polished and sharpened.

Of course, you never actually leave the guild, we think of you more as on secondment.

I will do something appropriate with your membership icon soon...

thanks for all your work keeping the boards spam free smivs!

Well, given it's 1am and all is quiet, I'm leaving this to the night shift - happy hunting/tagging

Ha! Thank you And thanks to everybody for your kind words.
