    Have a search under the forums under 'Takashi64' and God knows whatever other 'aliases'.

    I'm prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt as I remember even the rather knowledgeable Nathan was accused of being him ( the name being a bit of a connection).

    TKrap (alias Takashi64). The man of many aliases. The man with unsual Japanese sounding names. The man who can pass off utter pile of crap as well...utter pile off crap. The man who knew too little. The man who has been described in a variety of colourful adjectives including troll, idiot, and other unpleasant names. The only man in the forums (as far as I know) who has had entire thread by him, deleted from the forums.

    For whatever it is worth, you should search the forums for messages by him. Some of his more seriously crappy messages messages were taken off the forums, but I wish Martijn had preserved them in a seperate section reserved for "crappy threads that got deleted" or something. :)

    Simply put, the only troll to ever have populated WOS, as far as I remember. Lousy record.

    So was TKrap actually Japanese, or not? Or is Takashi the name of a Nintendo/Sega game character that I've missed that he happened to pick up on?

    You are him. You only have to look at your posts.

    Dunno why people are calling you a troll, you're not clever enough. Your posts are just silly. :p

    Example wilsonsamm post:
    Hey, I can fix a Norwegian, Japanese and a German version (master of languages, eh?). It's a pleasure to be helping with SE BASIC, because now I'm an important part of 8-bit computing : ) !

    So let's hear some of this Norwegian, Japanese and German... and don't go running off to babelfish!

    Isn't he/you from Scunthorpe??

    I think he's actually a console programmer, Takashi Yakamoti or something.

    I spoke to TKrap, Takashi, DarkTakashi, Nathan Graves, The Neoman ect, several times on WoS chat, way back when people actually used it. He claims to be a 15 year old who got into the Specrtum from playing Magic Knight games on his older brother's +2A. He's totally incompetent at programming, has no clue about hardware, and would really rather be playing a Nintendo.

    It is true that his best threads have been deleted, and I agree with Arjun that they should have been preserved somewhere, along with any of the logs from his chatroom greatest hits.

    I'm quite sure WilsonSamm is TKrap.

    Of course he is. I'm afraid we will never be rid of such a sad sad person as he, mores the pity. Just totally ignore him.

    Interesting you should say that Al. Perhaps it's a variation of what you are saying, or perhaps it isn't Italian at all! ;)

    In fact it sounds like a weird French/Italian hybrid - "Et" meaning "and" in French, and "tu" meaning "you" (singular) in Italian.

    Talking about the so-called Takashi Yamakoti: Another proof that this guy is not Japanese is in the transcription of his name - it is done using two different methods at once, Hepburn and Kunrei. Hepburn is by far the most widespread one (particularly in its recently updated form), while Kunrei is used, oddly enough, mostly in Japan. The different transcription in Roumaji would look like this:

    Hepburn -> Takashi Yamakochi
    Kunrei -> Takasi Yamakoti

    I should therefore recommend Tkrap (or what else he makes himself call) to make his mind up with the Roumaji transcription he wants to use :)

    I think it's Latin, Ale.

    I've not been practising Latin for a decade, but what I manage to recall from my high school/University studies tells me that such a form of addressing to another person was not likely to be found, at least in the writings of classical authors - something along the lines of "Ac te" (short form of "atque" plus the vocative form of "tu") was used more, as far as I can tell.

    But "tu" means "you" in French as well?
    I admit I thought it was Latin too until now...

    ..."tu" is French as well, but in that sentence you'd use "toi". "et tu" SOUNDS like latin, yes, but as Alessandro (the second :) ) said, it doesn't seem like quite the right way of addressing someone -- however, the rules Alessandro cited apply to WRITTEN latin, which is believed to obey slightly different rules. I think the quote is sort of a transliteration of an english-conceived sentence that we, in Italy, being closer to latin, turn into a more common latin form such as "tu quoque, Brute", etc....

    Well according to Bartleby.com, it is indeed Latin:

    (et TOOH BROOH-tay) A Latin sentence meaning ?Even you, Brutus?? from the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare. Caesar utters these words as he is being stabbed to death, having recognized his friend Brutus among the assassins.

    Apparently, it is more likely that JC would have used Greek to utter those words.

    Wasn't greek the official language of the Roman empire? ;)

    We're getting WAY, WAY off-topic here, but...

    I don't think Greek was the official language in the Roman Empire, but Caesar would have used Latin anyway, as most people under conditions of extreme stress (such as getting a knife in your back) revert to their initial language...

    Reallistically, it's unlikely he ever said anything. Probably just a legend, you know...

    Hope someone gets to see our history lesson before Martijn puts TKr... I mean wilsonsamm and this thread out of their misery.

    No, but educated Romans would have spoken Greek - they looked to the Greeks for much of their culture and science.

    ...I don't think they spoke Greek in the senate... But definately not Greek after having been stabbed 23 times. :)

    There's this joke I heard some years ago...

    Q: What did Julius Caesar say when he was stabbed?
