re: For those of you unfamiliar with the Auburn Family....

Also, this isn't definitive proof by any means, but similar post style to me (albeit with no political bend that I've noticed) and approximate overlap on posting timelines:

DawgfaninCA was gone for about a month and a half until a single post on 6/16... followed by a little more activity on the 17th.

RatRod, other than the initial post when he probably first got approved in November, didn't start posting in full until 6/18...
