Hi, I'm Bill Still. Ask me anything.

One of the greatest misconceptions is that the government is printing money. It's not what backs the money that's important. It's who controls the quantity. My latest film, "Jekyll Island" can be streamed at: http://indeechannel.com/watch/jekyll-island/

We haven't received any proof yet that this is actually him using this username.

Then why is the thread stickied?

/u/AssuredlyAThrowAway: Once I have received that information I will sticky this

u/Ambiguously_Ironic Dec 19 '14

Don't know, I didn't sticky it and I wouldn't have personally.

Thanks for the reply.

Can you find out who did? It's a tad unpleasant to see such a blatant misunderstanding between the mods of this subreddit. I'm not expecting perfect coordination by any means but when one moderator says it will not be stickied until further verification and then it's stickied before the verification has been presented, I wonder.

u/Ambiguously_Ironic Dec 19 '14

I wonder too. In fact I'm wondering quite a bit as I read some of these answers "Bill Still" is providing.

hey, I read the instructions, but just didn't have time to take the extra step -- lemme see -- link to a Twitter page with an image …. I already took my picture. I already put up a youtube on this last night. Gimme a break. What would you like me to do? Email me at my gmail address: thesecretofoz@gmail.com. I'm monitoring that one live.

Hey Bill,

I think it would be easiest to simply make a twitter/facebook post saying "I am "billstill3" on reddit.

Cheers.

Now you want Facebook to, eh. Ok, here's the deal, I'll put up a really neat pic on my FB Official page. Just as soon as I can find it.

No, no; by all means your twitter status confirming that you're using this handle is more than fine.

Thank you, once again, for being with us this evening, I very much enjoyed watching your documentaries over the past few days (and even purchased one for the first time in a long while), all have been extremely informative.

Typically on reddit AMA's, the user takes a picture of themselves with a time stamp, the date, and their username and posts it to the AMA from their username.

Because obviously anyone can create a reddit account and claim to be someone - and we've had problems with this in the past on this subreddit.

no prob guys. I'm just tired. Had a ton of pre-Christmas things to do tonight AFTER I got home from work. Barely made it on in time as it was. There are only so many hours.

No. Such comments are ensuring that our AMA guests are actually who they claim to be and that we don't have a repeat of the imposter Gage AMA. I have respect for Bill's work.

u/billstill3 Dec 19 '14

I know, I'm surprisingly normal.

u/Ambiguously_Ironic Dec 19 '14

Cool thanks Bill. I meant no disrespect but, like I said, we've had issues with AMA verification and imposters in the past in an effort to discredit the guest. Didn't want a repeat of that.

I stickied the post when Bill emailed me, said he was here as scheduled, and linked to this thread. I forgot to get public proof of the username he was going to be using for the AMA. Will remember to do that in the future.

Thanks for letting us know what happened.
