Volunteers are screened twice at the start and once annually, and using your real name in VIMS is kindof important unless we want to see him start to red flag all over the place.

At CMP they use the barcoding system for everything, so I agree it is harder to doctor the tags. But, there's lots of different ways to help show who you are. The CD stickers from way back when were useful.

Has anyone actually confirmed that Ether isn't an AI with a fondness for technical problems in high school robotics?

Also, I think we can all agree, Ether is a God. That is all.

Russ Ether is a real guy, although I agree his posts can make him seem like an AI sometimes. He also sometimes appears to be a wizard, because any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

To see him in real-world action, come to his controls seminar at the Benton Harbor Kickoff, or have him visit your pit as a CSA at the St. Joseph District.
