Elephant?

Did I miss the introduction of elephant? Is it a meme? Past writer? An Editor who doesn't want to be outed?

But my question is why they're posting it under The Editor's account, and not under the specific editor's nym.mic0 wrote:My suspicion is an Editor's friend I don't know who it is, but the answers just started last night.
Well then, they could mark it as "None". They don't get stats credit for marking it under the Editor nym*, either. It makes me wonder if there are a lot of over hours questions and the editors have been trying to figure out how to knock them down, and someone they all know said they'd be happy to be a temporary writer, just to answer some red questions, but instead of giving them access to the board and their own nym, they're just crediting it to the editors. That's my guess, anyway.mic0 wrote:They're ashamed? Hmmm... good question.
There aren't really that many over hours questions at the moment.Dragon Lady wrote:It makes me wonder if there are a lot of over hours questions and the editors have been trying to figure out how to knock them down, and someone they all know said they'd be happy to be a temporary writer, just to answer some red questions, but instead of giving them access to the board and their own nym, they're just crediting it to the editors.

SO MUCH MYSTERY. That's what makes secrets so fun. I don't begrudge the writers at all for it.

But then wouldn't it be more fun to rotate through the nyms that post it?Dead Cat wrote:Maybe Elephant knows that The Editors are editors, but doesn't know which writers they are and it's all a plot to make sure Elephant won't find out who is who.
