* The originally sent email does not match the email Brad applied with in 2010. [1] * There is no GPG signature, neither on the current application or the 2010 application, as to remove doubts. * The "itsbrad212" account is no longer present on AUR. * The website on the archlinux.org TU Fellow page is no longer functional.

There has been some recent activity on the "itsbrad212" forum account (which was linked from the 2010 application), but I would not say this is sufficient confirmation.
I understand your cause for concern, so I'd like to know if there is any reasonable way to confirm my identity? As mentioned by somebody else in this thread, a lot has changed since 2010, including PGP package signing in pacman. Every TU now has a fingerprint that can eliminate doubt in situations like these, but I wasn't quite around long enough for its universal adoption. My AUR account was seemingly disabled due to inactivity (?), and I'd be hard- pressed to keep a domain name for 8 years. Thanks, Brad
