A) If it's true, my condolences.
B) It isn't true.

I don't believe that in a time of sorrow like the death of a father, a son would take the time to write a lengthy obituary for his father on a bulletin board full of smut-peddling lowlifes (like us).

The title "Pathfinder is dead" does not strike me as an appropriate or likely title for a son to use as a tribute to his recently deceased father.

Finally, the writing styles are just too similar. That's like handwriting. I also use capital letters and double spacing, but it's not the same. Both Pathfinder's posts and his "son"'s posts use short, clipped military-style sentences seperated by double spaces. You inherit a lot of things from your parents, but I doubt that BBS posting style is one of them.

However, unlike a lot of you, I think this is hilarious if it's a hoax. It's one of the most amusing things I have read recently.
