“We even have a few Bill Clinton supporters here in the past week. Most of the FReeper accounts have been dormant for years, which gives them away. Carson needs to go away, but I fear he will throw his votes to whoever Rove and the Chamber tell him to.”

I was wondering about that. I checked some of these accounts and they were quite old so I assumed they were legitimate; however, I didn’t think to check their posting history to catch what you did.

Is there some way for 3rd parties to “mine” old FR accounts and hijack them?

So it’s not only the new accounts that are trolls, but old accounts, too?

What is an acceptable account age to be above suspicion?

A number of us suspect that there is, but I don’t know how to find out. Need a high tech FReeper to tell us.
