Jim Browning is highly skilled. Rumor is he's a teacher and this is his hobby.

Kitboga on Twitch/Youtube is another (highly entertaining) scam baiter. Multiple voices/characters, develops story-lines. Seems like an all around good human, too. He's built it into a lucrative full-time business.

>While He's On The Phone With Them

In the early days of WMW,  NFFC & I were in the catbird seat.  We had a new member sign on and threaten a lawsuit(?) for some now-forgotten reason.  In what seemed like only seconds of time,  some mods started posting the contents of the intruder's desktop --complete with porn files.   I'll never forget how quickly they rifled through his stuff.
