I have no knowledge of another thread on FR that has been pushed by drive-by posters like that one. Could someone have learned that Steffen was a Freeper and the attempt at dragging him in have started last summer?

JimRob will know from where the posts were made - how many different computers were used for the onetime posters.

Man, you're not kidding. Talk about your "drive-by poster." You and GOP_1900ad and CollegeRepublican did a great job of sniffing them out way back then.

Here they are. All these screen names are active (i.e., they haven't been banned), they have nothing on their home page, and, with the exception of MD4BUSH, they've only made one post. They haven't posted anything since this thread.

Someone please make sure Jim has examined and documented their computer signatures to see if they came from the Compost office.

This doesn't even include the ones who posted on that thread that are now banned.

Thanks for collating the names on this thread.

I think a few of those are the same person, if not all of them. That's another violation of FR rules(multiple accounts) but that's nothing compared to the problems they're about to face.

Thanks for digging that out -

And also note that not only did they post on the one thread, they all opened their FR accounts within one week of each other (last week of July 04) - some on the same day....

The statistical odds of that happening by sheer coincidence on a single thread of just 100 posts are beyond calculation.

Incredible discovery and detective work! Thank you.
