Yep. Feels like skullduggery going on for sure. Might be time to alert the Mods.
Naw, leave the mods out of it while we have our fun.
FR is chock full of old sleeper accounts that suddenly spring to life once every four years. They aren't that hard to spot for a regular poster.
It's nothing new, and is almost something of a quadrennial sport for some of us. It's kinda fun seeing the sleepers light up your radar, then zeroing in on them for the kill ;-)
