Especially since his "last activity" was the day he joined. April 14, 2004 sure was a busy day!

I immediately found posts form this user as late as Feb of this year, so that is a bug.

Looks like someone with a whole buncha reviews. Has evidently participated heavily in some of your threads Michael.


And fewer posts per day than Crothian.

Why do you question it, out of curiosity?
 

Seeing as the reviews tend to be written by different people, and I recall seeing that name in a few threads, and many of the posts seem to be of informational nature in the reviews database, I'd guess that it is an automated feature, where form data is posted using that name. And "Messageboard Golem" sounds like an mindless posting machine, so I'd guess that you, MM, are playing a little game with us, and this is one of your creations, hence your wording of the question. Am I correct?
 



Lot of reviews to. 927 :)

I thought he was a tool of the board to move things when I first saw the userID last year, I think it was about the time of the server upgrade (when I noticed).

I think you are correct except that the reviews database and the forum post database is actually the same. This makes it easier to maintain the system, such as adding new books.
