Taking a tack that others have taken , Jeff Ackerman, The Union's Publisher, commenting on the FUE’s blog wonders if Gloria is real, an Avitar, or just one of the FUE’s invisible friends.

So Gloria is a real human being? If so, see if she will meet me for a cup of coffee. I will swap IDs. If she exists Ill buy her coffee. If not….well…I’m saying there is no such person. Perhaps your Avitar? Like an invisible friend? Personal and insulting? Now that’s funny.
Several of local blogger chatting over coffee have often wondered if some of the people who comment on articles in The Union are just clones of the same person, or as Ackerman call them Avitars. Several bloggers have suggest that the FUE may have several Avitars on The Union website, enabling him to have conversations with himself. They arrived at that insight by comparing phrases and sentence structure. Now the Union's Publisher is seeking Gloria Zane. Could he have more insight than the rest of us? Just wondering?
