"Five Reflect on the Mystery of Roanoke"

While attempting to solve the mystery of the impostor, the Famous Five began to identify anyone on ILW that had an axe to grind and would wish to discredit any of the Famous Five. For the most part, the individual that hijacked the moniker was targeting friends, but seemed to be particularly annoyed with me. This is when the discussion first rolled around to ILW member, BS. CMR noted to the group that he suspected that, in the recent past, a number of IDs on the board might have been created by BS and if so, could it be possible that this new ID was yet another. The Famous Five analysed the possibilities. Most of the facts posted could have been retrieved from the ILW message board, but then there were a few that indicated that there was a slight chance that the impostor might have been present in one of our group chats or certainly had some insider information. Then, in mid-stride the imposter's ID morphed to reflect Roanoke, a location where our own "George" lived.

What was important to note is that by hijacking CMR's ID and taking some pot shots at me, the impostor may have been intent on disrupting the close alliance he and I were developing in private. During the course of numerous group chatting sessions by the Famous Five, no conclusion as to identity of the impostor was ever made, although many possible suspects were proposed. Without facts, it was all speculation, of course. I believe I may have been the only person that believed and claimed it could not be one of "us", since we had become a tight clan and I couldn't fathom any reason for anyone to wish to disturb that, or place a wedge between CMR and me. Nevertheless, without facts to prove otherwise, although not openly voiced by any of us in the group sessions, each of us continued to be suspect.

While the impostor's activity on ILW was of little overall consequence, The Mystery of Roanoke would eventually cause some doubt and friction within the group.
