If I were churlishly neurotic that would be my choice.

churl·ish (chûrlsh) adj. 1. Of, like, or befitting a churl; boorish or vulgar.
2. Having a bad disposition; surly: "as valiant as the lion, churlish as the bear" Shakespeare.
3. Difficult to work with, such as soil; intractable.

That's one of the problems, that is exactly what newbies see in their first impression of the board.

I wasn't offended initially, only amused but now he is literally polluting the board with hundreds of posts every day and most not in his own Account Talk.

I really didn't want to turn this thread into a Birchtree bashing. I have always hated "cliques" and there is the appearance that some of those might be on this board but the annoyance factor of the sheer quantity of posts by Birchtree warrant something more. (I don't care as much about his content as long as he doesn't plagiarize and misconstrue as I understand has been known to happen with his info.)

I think the Technician is no where near as bad. At least he has always kept his number of posts per day to a relative few.

Both do hurt the credibility of the board and worse, could conceivably misguide some newbies. That is the reason for the request for "prominent display". Kind of "let the buyer beware" though I will agree, one could argue that since this is a public internet forum, the user hopefully is already cautious. But one has to be lurking for a while to pick up on who is really BS'ing, hence my request that the list be prominently displayed.

In addition, kind of a nice little side benefit, is that this posting of the list will give an incentive to those who are really irritated by Birchtree to put him on ignore in order to have their vote and thus not bother the rest of us with their replies because they won't be reading his junk (for the most part.)

Tech has about 2,000 posts in less than 2 years.......that's a few?? I think the ultra-positive and the ultra-negative are both needed on a board like this.

Me thinks Bill could have said:
