1. You check film-tech forums at least once an hour to see if any new posts have been made.2. The Film-Yak forum has superceded all your other sources for jokes on the net. 3. You put a link to film-tech on a WWW site that you run, not primarily to let your users know about it, but to provide a link so you can more easily get to it. 4. You post a review of a movie on the movie review forum as soon as you get to a computer after leaving the movie theatre. 5. You have no fear of condemnation by other members if you mention thinking that your booth is haunted. 6. You edit every post 4 or 5 times after first submission to correct every spelling and grammatical error that you're aware of. 7. You get depressed if it is a slow day for film-tech postings. 8. When you're sitting in a theatre, you notice every detail that is wrong with the presentation and auditorium environment and wish you could fix it. 9. When someone asks you how a movie was, you give details based on the quality of the presentation rather than of the movie contents or quality. 10. Any time you're in any room in a building with a large amount of unused space, you calculate the maximum size screen that could be placed there and think of how the room could be turned into a theatre auditorium. 11. If your theatre has more than 16 screens, you are dying to interlock a movie through all of the projectors to top the 16-way interlock. 12. Microsoft Internet Explorer always knows your username and password for film-tech, so you never have to actually type it. 13. You find yourself using the phrase "Film Done Right" to describe theatres with excellent presentation quality. 14. After any movie, you know if sperical or anamorphic lenses were used, and know how many blades were in the shutter mechanism of the camera that filmed it. 15. You wonder what the moderator, Brad Miller, really looks like.

1. If I'm on my ass at my computer, yes.2. I rarely look at the Joke-Yak thread, but still, YES. 3. No 4. Yes, if I have an opinion about it. 5. Yes 6. 4 or 5 times? Usually more than that. 7. No. Those are the days I don't visit the site 8. Yes. That's not normal? 9. Yes 10. Yes 11. Hell no. 16 was enough! For now. 12. Nope. IE is pretty stupid. Sometimes it remembers but most of the time it doesn't. What lame ass company programmed this thing? MicroSoft? I bet they did. 13. Nah. That phrase has been copyrighted by John Pytlak. He charges a $5.00 fee everytime someone else but him says that. 14. Nope. 15. Brad Miller moved to Colorado for the sole purpose of meeting me. I score 8/15. I kick ass!

12 of 15 Whoa. I need to get a life.Has anyone noticed that it is possible Joe Redifer and Brad Miller are the same person. Now I know that they will both deny this but the more they deny the more I will believe it's true. That is why Brad will never post his picture. Next time you see Brad look at his pointing finger see if you can steal a finger print. I'll send it to the FBI for checking out. If they deny this we will check IRS records. Ok, guys, go ahead and start the Denials.

This is not the first time this has happened. Here is an easy solution:Ian Price, a member of this forum, used to work with me (Joe Redifer) for several years. He has also met Brad Miller (not me) in person at the UA Galaxy in Texas. Right as Ian got into the parking lot of the Galaxy after leaving the theater, he called me (Joe Redifer) at the Mann Chinese 16 Theater in Colorado to tell me that he had just met Brad. This was before I met Brad in person. Who has met us both? Let's see:
•Ian Price •Dwayne Caldwell •Erika Hellgren (she is no longer part of this forum, though) •John Pytlak (but only over the phone - big difference in our voices --- and area codes!)
Help us out here, people! Plus if this was my site, I think I would have it as my home page That's not why Brad won't post his picture. He won't even LET anyone take his picture. I've tried. I was threatened. I do have a picture of him walking around at Mann Southwest Plaza 5 that he doesn't know about (until now) but you can't see his face because he is walking away.

Sorry Joe, but most of us use to watch Mission Impossible.You had a friend pose as Brad when Ian was there. Or maybe, you posed as Brad and you buddy played Joe. We know from your computer expertise that you can play games with area codes. It is easy to disguise your voice. I saw Cary Grant do that in North by Northwest. How easy is that. The gig is up. Time to come clean. Let's hear more denials.
