I think the Redhill collective was trying for a triple play. In a bit of history that should probably go in the "Madhouse" thread, Tony Wilson was first a fixture on SR.
After Tony's 1000th post (or some other milestone), Tannin was born and became the nick of choice.
Some time later, due to a change in forum arrangement, Tony Wilson was de-fixtured, while Tannin moved ever closer to 2000 posts. Tannin and Tony Wilson hit 2000 and 1000 posts within minutes of each other.
Fast forward again - Tony Wilson almost unused but due to another reorg slightly below 1000 posts again, Tannin posting feverishly, Tea climbing up into the hundreds. On 12/27 it was apparent that the Redhill gang wanted a Fixture trifecta.
At least, that's what I always thought.
