And that is, to do EXTENSIVE user-posts history downloading to their home computer, extracting more specific posting patterns from that, and then posting the freeper's handle, along with his detailed pattern on some thread where a heated argument is in progress.

To the Robinson's: would you say a few words about this practice?
* do you find it abusive of freepers?
* do you find it abusive of the cpu resources here at FR?
* what would happen to bandwidth if EVERYONE started doing this all the time?
thank you. FLE (example follows) ...my emphasis in RED
The headings are hours from midnight to following 11:59 pm in military time notation. Below each time there are four spaces each representing 15 minute increments (a dot fills each unused slot). The numbers in the each slot are the number of posts in the 15 min period. An exclamation point (!) is in a slot that had more than 9 posts.
