More recently of course, I have had some reason to take an interest, as<br>
I believe you all know.<br>

being a "fraud"... his word, not mine... for having given a false physical<br>
location while attempting to run for what I gather was a (co-?) chair seat<br>
on the AFRINIC Policy Development Committee.<br>

I am not persuaded that the poster in this case would be eager to repeat<br>
that claim now, given his rather different present circumtances.<br> <br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">It's always good to have hopes :-/</div><div dir="auto">...knowing that: "[...] Guessing is not the way [...]"</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>

The reality was that you made a fraudulent application claiming residency in a country where you have an office, but do not reside. Your fraud was noticed by the nominating committee and your candidacy was rejected.</pre><pre>
Then you accused them of guessing instead of asking you, so multiple people asked you. You basically refused to state your residency, but when finally pushed, you admitted that you did not live in the service region.
After that, the phrase "but he guessed right" was used as a semi-humorous retort to your continued and repeated accusation that he guessed. In reality, your fraud attempt was noted and you were removed from the slate for entirely legitimate reasons. The process worked and the correct outcome was achieved.
It's past time to move on from this absurdity.
