Virginia, You're a class act! Thanks for all the extra tidbits. My "15 minutes of fame comment" was mostly in jest. I'm happy to go down in history as one of many, many contributors to this unique saga. Now if only I could find the "set"! Ramesh "Mesh" Flinders isn't on Zabasearch. -Steve in Los Angeles

I think the top 50 posters here each gets $1, and Riana gets $3.

My reading comprehension must have fallen off since I last took the SATs I feel like I missed some things in the article. + Were the bedrooms/filing location in Marin or LA? I guess they could have been using SBC DSL if they were in Marin, which could have given the Mtnview IP. + What's going on with Buka now? I didn't follow the whole point about his picture taking and him leaving the group. What went on there? + They got Amanda Solomon to check LGs email while at work at CAA to throw us off the scent, but it wasn't official, is that right? Then they signed with CAA *after* that? LOTS of info today. This thread should probably be stickied, yes? Hi guys! + Two of the creators gave up their bedroom for lonelygirl15. They shot video in these rooms by day, and slept in them by night. Mesh Flinders's [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1981836/ ] bedroom was used for Bree's. Miles Beckett's [http://www.shoutboy.com/] was used for Daniel's. + The original moderator of the lonelygirl15.com message board, a ghostly presence who mystified fans as "Bukanator," was Grant Steinfeld, the software engineer who helped get the tech component of "lonelygirl15" off the ground.

Wow. This article is currently linked from the nytimes.com front page. I wonder if it will be teased on the front page of Wednesday's paper.

NZPA (I'm guessing this is a New Zealand news agency): xtramsn.co.nz/technology/0,,13441-6296383,00.html "Jessica Rose's mother told NZPA she was not in a position to talk about her daughter's project but provided contact details for her in California." The article also quotes the NY Times article quoting me as the anonymous geek fan. Great, now I am an official geek on the other side of the globe as well.

now watch the paparazzi stalking of jessica rose begin. Why do I get the feeling this Jessica will be another linsey lohan type person? She portrays this awesome free-thinking character in "Mean Girls," but you find out in real life she's this drug addicted paris hilton wannaby who is so full of herself you wonder how it doesn't leak into her acting.

Hi All, I'm very happy that Virginia "got" the story. Congratulations, give her a raise, NYTimes! In answer to her question: "Does the revelation of Lonelygirl15’s true identity as a 20ish former film student change the level of trust you place in the truthfulness of home-grown videos?" Short answer: No. Long answer: No, I'll always assume that people are telling me the truth. And now, more than ever, I have confidence that eventually, the truth wells out. LG15 is a tragedy in a way, further proof that pretty girls just aren't interested in dead physicists and Jared Diamond. Hyemew, my friend, we've been together for a long time (well, a long cyber-time). Anybody who has spent anytime at MIT (or CalTech or insert your favorite school here) knows you are so very, very misinformed. I know, I married one of those pretty girls. Hey that geek fan is ME Nice article, thanks for quoting me Virginia, I'm saving this (and buying tomorrow's NY Times for keeps). It's true, I am heart-broken, but happy for the actress. OK, enough with the excitement, back to studying Godel's incompleteness theorem for me. Hear, hear Mr. Watson, geeks everywhere agree. Off to Work, FLWright

I seem to be having problems getting the videos to play on the screens page. Does anyone have a direct link to those videos on YouTube?
