I suggest someone is spamming us.In the past few days there are posts under
five new names which are anagrams of each other, and a sixth near-anagram:
--RumShotGiles
--MrSoHugeList
--GimletsHours
--Egotism_Hurls
--MisterGhouls
--GizmoHustler
The first three names were registered in a 6-minute span on Feb. 5: the other three in a 7-minutes span yesterday.
Many of them post with the phrase “Humorless Git” – still another anagram.
I suggest the spammer is an experienced board member, not a newbie. His/her posts show familiarity with colors and fonts, and consistently take part in pending disputes on the board.
Could the spammer be identified? --I note that most of those posts take subtle potshots at dr. bill of at me.
--I note the style of those potshots, which to me seems much like that of a particular board member.
--I note that two of them end with the bracketed initials [E.A.]
--I note that all 11 posts in these names were made at times near when ASp was posting.
--I note that one uses
praps to mean “probably”, which use has been made once before in the board’s history – and that use was by ASp.
