That man must spend every waking hour on that forum or elsewhere.

Re: I've been Tangoed!
Yes, I've often wondered if he is actually just one person, or several working to a similar agenda.
I'm always ambivalent about criticising him for that sort of post. He never claims the work as his own and invariably provides a link, giving the original blog/website more exposure. However, he posts so much stuff on TMP that he makes it difficult to spot genuinely new stuff, often reposts the same thing again a few months later, and doesn't really understand most of the topics well enough to separate the wheat from the chaff (so what he does post is very much hit-or-miss).

I'm not ambivalent about him. He is a twat.
His spam on TMP (much of which has fuck all to do with wargaming)is but one of the reasons that place is shit.

Re: I've been Tangoed!
Yeah, he's done it to me as well recently. Doesn't really bother me, as it brings more traffic on to the blog. I don't care what he does to TMP, as it's nothing to me.
There was a time when he just posted people's pictures, not provide a link and then just accept the praise.

Re: I've been Tangoed!
I don't think its just one bloke as Baron says. More likely a bunch of East Asian ladyboys. The Argentina thing is prob a cover for the broken English. Don't take anything you see at tmp at face value.

Re: I've been Tangoed!
Being an Argie academic is not exactly hard work, and it's almost impossible to get fired, which all explains his prodigious output. I can live with his spam and he does occasionally dig up something interesting.
Re: I've been Tangoed!
Yep, just like that, except without the link...
