"Julian", like most of Doug's socks (also his daughter apparently, see
below) disappeared and was never heard from again after a rash of
sup****tive posts, and an embarrassing incident where he claimed he was
studying at (it later changed to 'working for') the University of
Queensland. He referred to a faculty that didn't exist, and UQ even
issued a statement denying that anyone of that name worked or studied
there.  Julian (who sometimes misspelled
his own name as 'Julain') went very quiet at that point.

Back in those days he was using the Douglas MacDonald name, the
'Techno Aussie' business name, and his daughter allegedly was Kiah
MacDonald, posting as One Million Pics, eg here:

....and sounding *remarkably* familiar!! (O:  Kiah disappeared from the
scene entirely after a few posts, and has not been seen/heard/
mentioned since.  It's a worrying trend, all these disappearing folk
who are related or friends of Doug's...
