    OK, somehow I missed the first call out post. Like, I scrolled right past it earlier today, liking posts both above and below, and completely missed that I got called out!!!

    Whew, it's about time, too! (@FBarber now I understand your BM lol!).

    I've been very, very careful to leave a string of clues that included more than one BA, slowly narrowing the possibilities over time. I eliminated the East Coast, and the North and South extremes (mostly the South, given my location). I included BA username hints and miscellaneous guidance, and eliminated even more with my limitations on Beers, Places, Trades, Posts, and Likes.

    Throughout it all, every single hint was carefully selected. I didn't want to screw this up. I'VE SCREWED THIS UP BEFORE. Yes, I've previously eliminated my target by accident (don't drink and BIF, friends).

    All of that to say: every single clue applies to @snaotheus . Every. Single. Clue.

    Which still doesn't mean I'm the last possibility standing...

    And @snaotheus , kind sir, to whom I made damn sure that EVERY CLUE would point:

    Admittedly, I did that on purpose. I am a huge asshole.

    All of my hints also apply to my target, however, and if my calculations are correct, with your elimination, only my target!

    well...
    I guess waiting is how I'll find out who my sender is...
    and waiting is how I'll find out which of your clues I mistakenly excluded someone else with...

    Hmmm...I have four more people who I think *could* be my sender, and two of those who seem much more likely than the other two.

    Perhaps after I've had some time to recover from this emotional trauma I'll feel safe enough to guess again...

    To confirm, are you defining repeating as back to back, or if there are two of the same letters (not back to back....e.g. my town has two S's in it, but not back to back), are you counting that as repeating? I think I've eliminated you either way based on the distance question, which would leave me with only one possible sender, but wanted to confirm anyway.

    You know, I considered the same when I made my clue, and decided to leave it intentionally ambiguous ...

    ... but since you pointed it out:

    Hint # Next (I'm not at home, OK?): My target does not just have a repeated letter in his username. He has a letter repeated back-to-back.

    (I obviously couldn't make that obvious until after @snaotheus had taken the bait :stuck_out_tongue: .)

    Hint:

    @FBarber posted a Matty Matheson Donair making video. My target liked either that post or one of the ones quoting it or both/all. Lucky for him, a Matty Matheson food item will be heading west….

    Oh no! I'm sorry my friend, but I believe I eliminated you with previous hints, but either way:

    You are not my target.

    (You were in play for quite a while though!)

    Still haven't gone shopping yet, going to Boston tomorrow. But I have an idea what my target will enjoy based on what I've seen.

    1: I am shipping toward the setting sun
    2: I have never visited my Target's State before.
    3: Statistically my Target spends 25% less on utilities than I do in my city.
    4: My target's state touches a body of water.

    I’m convinced now that either my sender hasn’t posted very much, or one or more of you have more than one target. Is such a thing possible?
