Update To S R Sidarth Comments Story

Update: While the actual identities of posters at autoadmit remain anonymous, it is not believed to be the S R Sidarth, recently in the news due to remarks by Senator Allen, who posted comments at autoadmit under the S R Sidarth poster ID.

While at first having no comment, during a brief phone conversation, S R Sidarth has denied ever having posted on autoadmin.com. Comments from that site under the name S R Sidarth were noted in an earlier entry. Ultimately, that cannot be verified without an IP check, which I imagine would violate privacy restrictions.

A commenter on my personal blog claiming to be a member of that site first suggested someone had altered their nick and that autoadmit.com worked in such a way as to alter all previous comments. However, Google cache proves that explanation false.

It should also be noted that in today's WaPo story, Sidarth is portrayed as an introvert who spends a great deal of time on the computer.

"I guess I was pretty introverted. I guess being an only child was part of that. I was on the computer a lot," Sidarth said.

The WaPo's S R Sidarth is also a football player, playing end. Here is one post of S R Sidarth at autoadmit.com:
