I saw the inverted A as well but the island was a different size so I assumed that was not the case.

I saw a "speedy A" as well. It's got speed lines to show how it zips out past you.

Has anyone considered foghat.digs? He's certainly bright enough to have pulled something like this off. Only, I'd have expected something more IBM related.

The larger second A might be extended and wider than the first because the small sharp triangle would have been to small to make it look nice in the white doubleshot.

Edit: Combine the flying F idea with the double A idea and the AF theory and what do you get?
American Air Force or Allied Air Force

I recall seeing this key cap on deskthority. Somebody on that board found a few pounds of it from a British seller. I might be wrong.

Also, is didjamatic on the suspects list ?

Alright, look here, folk. I just read through all 12 pages of this expecting a resolution, but I didn't get one. So here's what we're going to do. Each of you who received caps, PM me the users you've dealt with during your stay at GH. Theoretically, the overlaps should give us the most likely suspect(s). If you choose not to, well, that's disappointing, because I want to know who did this.

i just came home to visit the parents and they received this keycap for me in my mail
it had my old mailing address that i haven't used since May, so its probably someone who i groupbuy'ed with before
mine came from GOLETA, CA 93199 and it shipped on august 1st, was delivered to my old address august 4th

I thought it was reaper and PMed him asking lol, then i promptly started googling "Blue AF Keycap" and found this thread.

Whoever it is, i thank you, although if you do it in the future, please update the address as i come home once a month =)
