Yes, Krypsis is a pseudonym and it is fake in that it bears no
resemblance to my real name just as much as "Brooklyn" bears no
resemblance to yours! So what's your point?

At least I'm not paranoid enough to believe that I need to back up every
post I make with a "proof". Your comments here prove also that you are
the ignorant ******* here, a fact borne out by the views expressed by
many other RFC posters.

Frankly, who in hell wants to see a picture of a "relabeled" bottle
with indeterminate contents? My point about the label, or more
pointedly, its absence in the FIRST PIC you posted, is that it tells us
nothing that we couldn't determine from your text. The pic is
superfluous and your second pic, with half a label, is no better. Why
post it? Does your insecurity create in you a pressing need to PROVE
that your little tale is true? You pic doesn't manage even that much.
For all we know, you could have printed up a dummy label and stuck it on
the bottle yourself.
If ever the good folks at RFC needed any proof that you are paranoid,
these recent posts of yours are it!
