....BM2's completely obvious and simple joke.... Stupefyingly false.  We all didn't figure it out for a while, and some people even now don't agree that that's what it is.

Fraudulent? Isn't "fraud" a legal term? Wikipedia says fraud is "intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual." What has BachMach "gained", beyond a few chuckles? And what damage has been inflicted upon the rest of us? If someone feels self important enough they can apparently feel that 5 minutes of their time is incredibly valuable.

If their time was so valuable, then why would they be on a forum on the Internet anyway?

I guess some of us are just slower than others?  Only took Polyphonist 20 seconds. But I'm a bit slow myself. Heck, it took me over a year to realize that pianoloverus really does have a sense of humor!

Well, sort of. It was a guess. But it was an informed guess.

Listening to the recording was very informative, for me. I found out all about the poster in 20 seconds.

This is the first of his recordings I've listened to. Oddly, I kept thinking of David Helfgott.
Whoever it is, it is hard for me to imagine that a mere prankster could play this role over a long period with such consistency and dedication, or would even have the motivation. Given that there is some ambiguity about exactly what is going on, I think I won't assume that it's all a joke. You know - just in case it isn't.

....Given that there is some ambiguity about exactly what is going on.... Some folks think there isn't. (See?) I mean, I don't think there is either. But anyone who thinks everyone can easily tell, just look here with your eyes open. Not to mention countless other threads.

It's not only the music in itself... but also how he introduces it ("nice take" etc.) that convince most of us that he is having fun. He will certainly be happy that he got so much attention in this thread! However, I am not angry or annoyed. After all this is the Internet!
