2 year anniversary NY Times profile on SF

[Nantucket Red]

I discovered Style Forum quite by accident while carrying out a lifelong vendetta against the style-impaired.

doughsc or something like that. Said he was austistic which I genuinely believed. Unfortunately some denizens came down pretty hard on him as a troll. It's a shame if we are ever more concerned about being 'had' than our compassion for a fellow.

Ah yes, he also posted pictures of himself wearing his dressy clothes.

I found AAAC through Google, and SF from AAAC.

Same here.

I typed 'style forum' into Google. It was just before that article I think (I lurked for a long time before registering).

That was the path I took here as well, just after the NYT article (which I had not read until now).

I once again apologize for sounding like a moron in the article. Never say anything that sounds like "I have no idea" to a reporter. What I actually said was that in reference to the discussions of last numbers, I had no idea what the people discussing them were talking about (which is still often true, though I'm picking up some of it).

All in all I think it had a definite positive impact on the forum.

I thought that was pretty funny, and assumed it was being said tongue in cheek. I think it comes off just fine.
