Who indeed? We don't precisely know -- certainly I don't.
Kaiditcha Man (sp?) is a longer form for this individual
who seems to troll newsgroups -- or maybe used to; he's
also apparently quieted down some. (No, AFAIK he's not dead.)
His main characteristic many moons ago was to throw
multiple responses at whom he considered an annoying poster
with chemical formulae as the names -- 1-2-1-Dihydrodextroanaline or
some such stuff.
(This was usually after said poster decided to announce that K-man was
"plonked".)
He also tends toward vulgarisms and occasionally posts
a list of aliases for the male member, euphemisms for
sexual relations, or various rather disgusting recipes.
Assuming his reports are accurate this may be in part
because of a loss of his reproductive facilities --
which he now keeps in a jar on his desk. His website
is dominated by a harlequin mask and tends towards the
slightly bizarre, but bizarrity is hardly unique nowadays.
(I don't have a link thereto handy.)
Compared to K-Man, Roy is very polite. :-) Perhaps Roy
is more annoying to the Wintrolls than K-Man, but if so,
it's by design. :-)
