From a lawsuit involving Cassidy McNamara:
Exhibit M: From Ciolli's deposition, taken March 2, 2008, 9:05 am to 1:04 pm, Orlando, Florida.
[p. 26]
Q Okay. Do you have a general sense of how many users use the change user name feature?
A I don't know how many people actually use it, no.
Q Have you ever changed your user name?
A No
Q So you only have one user name on the site?
A You mean user name or alias?
Q I'm sorry, alias?
A Alias, no. I should clarify. Immediately when I registered my account, I registered my account with the Anthony, but I immediately changed it to Great Teacher Onizuka because that's the alias I wanted to have. You can't register a user name that has spaces in it.
Q Do you have anyother -- any other aliases?
A No.
Q So your two aliases are Anthony and Great Teacher Onizuka?
A Yes.
[p. 27]
Q Okay.
A I should clarify. I have several additional aliases that I never used but I registered to prevent other people from impersonating me on AutoAdmit.
Q Okay.
A Because there had been other users who would post messages claiming to be me. They, perhaps, post -- for example, they take like, for example, one individual who has their name Great Teacher Onizuka period, had a period at the end. And people -- you would make posts people believe -- to prevent that, I registered various other aliases under my account to prevent other people from registering them and trying to impersonate me, but I never actually posted messages with those aliases. But the only alias I actually ever used was Great Teacher Onizuka.
Q Okay. And how many other aliases do you have, just the ones you used to prevent?
A Yes, just those. I don't know how many, I would guess maybe about ten.
Q And those are all just --
A I never made posts with them.

...I belive he used the e-mail account AHWIAB@gmail.com, and as you can tell from the e-mail conversation I provided. And, I believe, that DRACULA used the e-mail DRACULAESQ@gmail.com. And other than that, I don't believe I know anyone's e-mail address.
Q What was the -- can you say the A horse walks into the bar e-mail again?
A AHWIAB@gmail.com.
Q How did you come to know that A horse walks into a bar, their name was Ryan?
A He sent me an e-mail, and he signed it Ryan.
