I don't know about you, but that makes two unknown people I have never seen together... Ooops, I DID see Jack's photo on the start page, but NEVER live and in person! "Don't believe everything you think!"

Personally Cody, I share the same opinion. What with technology and all, for all we know it could just be one big computer sitting there laughing at us....

Possibly.

I did have a phone conversation with a guy that CLAIMED to be him. It's entirely possible that it was just a computer-generated voice...hmmm.

Why doesn't he want to show himself to us? What are the possibilities?

Is he a cross-dresser?

Embarrassing cold sore that just won't go away?

Afraid he won't be the best-looking guy in the room? (Trust me, I'm used to that....you'll get over it.)

Just what IS IT that Mr. Takes (if he does indeed exist) is hiding? Inquiring minds want to know................. :/

Cody, I too have had conversations with a voice that could well be computer generated. Given the state of artificial intelligence, it is a pretty safe bet that that voice is in fact computer generated. The picture of the dog that the alleged Mr. Takes posted is probably a ruse. quote: Embarrassing cold sore that just won't go away? As for THAT, I think it "might" be his nose. But I don't know for sure having NEVER seen him in public.

Since I have met you and seen your shop........I know you are real - nice picture, but after seeing it, I didn't realise you had grown (or are attempting to grow) a beard (and everybody thought it wasn't you (devil)
