Yes I am.

I joined ICC my second day on the net.  I began playing, and had a rating of
around 1650 for a couple months.  At some point I began running Chessmaster
manually, and my blitz rating immediately (literally overnight) skyrocketed to
the #1 spot (2700-2800) on ICC defeating IM, GM, and C opponents along the way.
When ICC confronted me, for some reason I was blinded and in some state of
terribly clouded judgemnt I resisted tooth & nail. I rallied support from
several players and publically defended myself. After some time my account was
added to the (C) list, at which time the MrBigMan rating was reset to 1600, and
TurboGM(C) was added.  There were no further instances of MrBigMan using a
computer, ever.

I realize that I made an error in judgement. I apologize to anyone I might have
hurt... 2 1/2 years ago .. if you're still out there ;)
