It seems the hamsters went ahead and removed the rest of his answers, so Chris will probably not feed them until they are restored ...

Some of his answers are quite good, some certainly took some time to write. I don't think he's gaming the system or not trying to help, I think there was just a hiccup in the logic somewhere, or a hiccup caused by his having had two accounts.

Seems you're right ... it seems all his questions, and nearly all his answers have been removed by the hamsters - I guess Chris will get them restored in short order ... or at least he will get the hamsters to do it ...

Jepp, so I've modified my postings - they suddenly started to look quite stupid Wink | ;)

If I remember correctly you once pointed my in the direction of Lacuna Coil[^] - which I've really enjoyed.

Do you have any other good recommendations?

Probably. I like them a lot. Have you heard Nightwish[^] ?

Definitely - and I've also been keeping tab on Tarja since she left the group ...

I admit I've not. I do love the new singer ( Floor Jansen ), she was with them when I saw them and she was amazing.

Floor has her own band ReVamp[^], but I like what she does together with Nightwish quite a lot more ...

Yeah, I bought the Revamp CDs and was not thrilled with them.

Right - even with Floors vocals I feel something is missing ...

She sings a way lot better than Annette and Tarja IMHO, which made me think she's the perfect fit for the Nighwish songs. Not so operatic, but not so pop either. I saw how she made Ghost Love Score a hell of a performance. Just in YouTube though. Never saw them live.

Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Damn you have the perfect signature - CBadger

I was RIGHT in front of her, front and centre. I waited all day to be at the front. It was a great night.

Yeah, they have a live CD/DVD/Blu ray out with her. I am glad they did, she owns ALL the back catalogue IMO.

He's made a ton of questions as well, I think they count, a little. He tends to often ask for more information, I've seen his name where the question is perfectly clear, but he says it's not.

This is no surprise; everyone using QA regularly does, I have observed, have multiple personalities except for I and I.

“But I don't want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.

“Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.”

“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.

“You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.” Lewis Carroll

There seems to be some issue in the pointing system.
Surprisingly, this user has answered only handful of questions (23) and very few are upvoted/accepted, still 21K + authority points.

In past, there was similar incident, which I raised in the bugs forum http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4480435/surprisingly-high-authority-points.aspx[^]

Also, I noticed, at that time that if the net connection is slow and you clicked "submit" more than once, it kept adding points at that time. This also was raised as bug http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4480603/Multiple-authority-point-for-answering-a-question-.aspx[^]

Probably, the issue is back and the user is exploiting it ! Which also amounts to abuse I believe

Thanks,

My account was removed due to some technical problems in system. But when I have signed up with same email address as I have used before, I got all my rep points back but questions and answers.

I'm really looking forward to get all that as well.

Thanks.
