Does anyone remember Littlewicher??

Whenever I think about some of our lost members and new arrivals I always smile when the name "Littlewicher" comes to memory. By my estimate he should be between 30-35 years old by now and I have wondered if he ever returned as an alt or even collects/collected coins.
For anyone new or old-timers who may have forgotten.................................
Littlewicher arrived here around 2002, shortly after I had become a member and quit lurking. He seemed to most members to be an inquisitive High School student and everyone tried to help. After perhaps two months he suddenly had a post count of over 10,000 and someone noticed that it had taken place almost overnight, probably on a weekend. So, let loose the forum dectective squad to figure things out!!! 
It didn't take long. Apparently he had stayed up for a few nights and gone into the old testing forum and some of the more obscure forums that PCGS offered and would make a two-word post, regardless of what the discussion topic was; maybe some of the long-timers remember it --- I concur!!! Once it was exposed he really got the heat and that was the buzz term for awhile, it seemed like everyone concurred. Shortly thereafter the Littlewicher, I think his last name was Wicher and he lived in New Jersey or somewhere on the East Coast, posted a rambling paragraph or two that had something to do with a term paper he was writing and he was harangued unmercifully.
Eventually the moderators reset his post count and he was either banned or managed to slink away into immortality. Who knows, he's older now so maybe he's sitting in a bar reminiscing about us every night with Bongo-Bongo.

Yes I remember "Little" when everybody
was beating up on him. I guess he deserved
it. Wonder if TDN is still mad at him ?
He's probably running a Fortune FiveHundred
company by now.

The only Little Wicher I remember is...
Gad @keets, that was a long time ago! But, yes: I remember. An olde time poster I'd like to see return is Dog97. As I recall he left for 5 or 6 years and then returned for just a little bit and has been gone now for what ... oh, maybe a decade? I enjoyed his posts.
I insincerely concur.
I remember Dog97. he was a smart guy even though he just collected coins with XX97 dates. what discipline!!
Dog97 was a character. Wore leather, road motorcycles cross country. Thoroughly nice guy.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
You're been here since 2002 @keets....How was it like the first decade of the millennium; fast forward to 2018 ?
Well,...... I ... strenuously concur.
Some people were "here" before they were "here." But only those who were here will know what I am talking about.
really, you STRENUOUSLY concur!!???!!
Littlewicher was pretty active on the open forum and started to get under people's nerves at one point.
Eventually it came out that it had been an agreement with the admins that he could test the boundries, for some reason I recall it was actually a college student psych test or something weird like that.
It didn't go over well.
BTW, Coincobbler was a better troll than 'wich.
Coincobbler was the best troll ever.
Littlewicher - That brings me back to when I first joined the forums. I remember him taking some good beatings, but it didn't seem to phase him.
I recall Littlewicher.... funny episode in forum history - Thanks for mentioning him Al... Also Dog97... really enjoyed his humor....and, to add one more to forum history.. Askari.... great guy with super coin knowledge. Cheers, RickO
So...was "I concur" his catchphrase?
