arturo
I must admit that I've been fascinated by the story of arturo. His posts are humorous, mysterious and clever (mostly).
It's obvious to me that he is the split personality of some other (prominent) long-time flyertalker. Fascinating!
I tried it with some covertly action but I don't get any further information about him...
So PLEASE help me with your theories and hints about his possible real person...
That could get entertaining...

ralfkrippner - do you actually mean arturos? 
I just spent a week driving around litle New Zealand country towns. They all spoke like that, so it is no big deal after a while.

ralfkrippner,
You are correct - arturo exists as the personality of another FlyerTalker.
I have met several FT'ers who know his true identity; however, they did not disclose any further information.
Therefore, it's only fair to them that I won't disclose their identities.

The perfect ladies' man is a perfect gentleman.

According to the TOS a FTer can't have two identies... and if they violate this rule multiple times they can be permanently banned.
Therefore, Randy must be arturo, as he wouldn't ban himself.

I love arturo--he is my boyfriend.
I used to have to share him with Consuelo and wingless, but Consuelo is now gone, so I just share him with wingless. That is ok, because, she has no wings and can't fly and, besides, he has to share me with Hunki and all my kids.
Kokonutz (and his escapades) are not figments or filaments. Believe me, this is true. I know this because Koko has been one of my kids.
