Its Vera all right. Even the denials are almost word for word what all of Adam's various personas say when challenged. The 'I don't know any Lir/Vera' line is ''exactly'' the phrase used by Vera about Lir, and by others of the Adam fan club about Vera and Lir. You'd think think having done this resurrection act so many times he'd have come up with a different form of denial, not the same one ''every time''. But then look at ''Michael'' and ''Weezer''. Jeez, we've spawned our own Wiki Dr.Whos!
Maybe we should call this latest apparition Lir IV - or if we include Adam, Adam V of the Kingdom of Lir. :-)
I see our latest member of the Adam's Family (I like that one!) has now edited his/her talk page to remove all the criticism and speculation. Poor dear. Funny enough, Susan did ''exactly the same'' a few days ago. And wasn't that one of Lir/Vera's stunts. Oh dear. Are we to expect Adam VI soon? (At this rate, move over Pope John XXIII. You'll be outnumbered soon!!! :-)
PS: I see Tannin got the wrong end of the stick. I put a note on his page trying humously to correct him. Then got caught in an edit conflict with yourself. Great minds think alike, eh (as I'm sure Adam, Lir, Vera, Susan and Dietary Fiber would agree!!!) [[User:Jtdirl|STÓD/ÉÍRE]] 04:55 Apr 7, 2003 (UTC)
