OK, HOO'S GOT IT?

I thought today of starting up a blog named:

THE WHITE SPORT COAT AND PINK CARNATION SOCIETY.

I checked out if the blog can have multiple authors so that Richard and I can both access and edit it and Tony and Mike in the future could also have editorial and authorship rights.
It turns out that only one address can be used but multiple authors can sign off each post with their own addresses. I was going to investigate the logistics of this but decided to see about setting up a blog account. I typed in:

thewhitesportcoatandpinkcarnationsociety.blogspot.com

and was informed that this address wasn't available.
Obviously someone else had already registered this.

Who?



Doing a google search didn't help as whoever had registered it had obviously deleted or abandoned it thereby closing off access to this blogspot name for anyone else to use.

Who would do such a thing.

Who?



My immediate thoughts went to Robert who has a habit of starting up blogs and then discontinuing them but I looked at the address name thewhitesportcoatandpinkcarnationsociety.blogspot.com and decided that there was no way that Robert could spell that and, if he did write it he would fall asleep while trying to read it for proofreading.

Who else would think about registering this address? Some shadowy internet character lurking in a garage somewhere ........
