Please don't take me for a fool. His name is right there in his posts,
easily found. Don't try pretending you call him an obviously offensive
name like Shysterwich because you can't recall the real spelling, that
isn't going to fly for a second.

Neither does he. You still haven't answered my question. You fill the
group with your nyms, so how do you find the time? At least Roy isn't
hiding his identity.

You don't have time to check - yet you assume that means he can't possibly
have time to post what he does. You're not him, he's not you. His life is
not yoyur life.

So? And? What business is it of yours or indeed anyone's?

Oh dear, what a shame. F'Gawd's sake, man, don't be such a whining ninny!

What, then? He's posting advocacy, and believe it or not, that's allowed
here. Even desirable.

So, enthusiasm equals getting paid, does it? Bullcrap.

Like I said, maybe he's an insomniac, and maybe he's not nearly as
prolific as you seem to think. If he can find the time, good luck to him.
Has it occurred to you he might be doing other things simultaneously?

Which you've done, several times. You think it's unethical. We get the
picture.

Why? It's still offensive. It's not funny. Leave it out.
The saddest thing about you, flatfish, is that you occasionally say
something worth reading, but usually spoil it by posting all you insulting
crap before and after it.
