....Trust gained

Little bits of inconsequential information was sent by me - references to a pub in D's area that he supposedly drank in followed by the street he lived on. I said I didn't know the exact door number as I had only seen D coming in and out of an entry at the back of a row of houses.I watched JiB's Youtube account, and sure enough, he had been watching video tours of the area I had given him.I knew he had swallowed the bait.To make doubly sure, D suggested I tell him that D actually stood for Daragh. It didn't seem like he'd fallen for this until one day he popped up on another forum and sent D a private message - saying "Hello Daragh".I asked D for suggestions on something else funny to tell him - I didn't want to accidentally hit on something that was true; neither did I want to go to far and invent a tale that D would be unhappy with.. He suggested that I see if I could get JiB to spend a few shekels and gave me the name of a book in which he was mentioned.I fed it to JiB and he was delighted! Followers of JiB/WD on VNN will no doubt now begin to understand some of WD's recent posts. He bought the story and he bought the book!
