        is that him? he sent me a PM but I decided not to read it, at least not tonight. Is he honestly considering a career change?

          Ya he said that he started some threads to make you and some other people complain.

            He's claiming all of it was a farce?

                Sounds like he is trying to cover his tracks after posting some seriously embarrassing stuff. Is that stuff that he is posting in public or in a secret forum because it did not come up in my feed.

                  He made that two hours after he posted the other one, it's public.

                    Seems an odd things for him to post given that we honestly tried to help him, and he really went on a whole thing with legit posts that at least I only saw because I was directed there by other people pointing out what a disaster it was.

                    So he is either so embarrassed that he's willing to claim to be a troll to cover his tracks or he was just trolling. Either way.... par of the course I suppose.

                      In the same thread or another? I posted that I had unsubscribed. Once I knew he was trolling, wahich was long before that point, I had left.

                        Odd that they so often mod people for genuinely helping people but no one mods someone that openly admits to being a pointless troll.

                          Different thread. Someone linked to it in the original thread that you were a part of in the beginning.

                              I don't hardly go on the site any more. I think most everyone I want to learn something from is on here.

                                  I think he falls under the category of "not worth responding to." I posted once that I respond to people because I value them as humans and as professionals and that's why I take the time to try to vet solutions, figure out what is right, etc. It's when I stop responding that I no longer see them as worth the electrons. He's past that point.

                                    Yeah, it is getting more and more to be that way. As good people come here, people like that become a bigger and bigger percentage elsewhere.

                                    Funny that he wanted to give the three of us a forum... how random. We never post together and the chances that at least I would have seen his posts was almost zero given the odd topics he chose to post about. And odd that it is someone I have no memory of ever seeing in the forums before.

                                    Me thinks he's very, very embarrassed or has a LOT of free time on his hands.
