On maybe a dozen occasions in 2023, someone has used the account called @Filthy-Herman to post on the Spirituality Forum only to then delete it almost immediately. I cannot recall any posts that weren't deleted immediately, and left there for people to read. Can you?

I have read his posts in a couple of clubs, that he hasn't deleted. Why he decides to delete his own posts in public forums I can't say. But the insinuations that you and Dive are making that it means he is a second account is incorrect. He is a decidedly unique and interesting character. (Just read his profile).

It is certainly true that often that can be an indicator that someone has inadvertently posted while using a second account. But to do so a dozen times as you have observed?

I think it more likely a case of someone not being use to posting in public forums and after making a post thinks better of it and deletes.

Neither can I. It's very peculiar.

To do so a dozen times [as I have observed] makes it more likely that the pattern is one that indicates that "someone has inadvertently posted while using a second account", as you put it.

I still think it's peculiar, regardless of what divegeester says.

Over and over and over and over again? This sounds a bit far-fetched.

I think you should take a leaf out of Dive's book.
