It may not be as bad as you think:
1. about 8 of his messages are actually his replies to a "My vote of 1" message his one article got.
2. and here[^] he says he voted 5.
[ADDED]
I just noticed he commented on a Tip/Trick of yours, however it got removed, so I can't comment on that. I'm getting the impression he feels wronged and is lashing out now.

Maybe a repost:
in forum message editor, a newline character gets eaten when it follows an HTML tag, e.g. when closing a CODE block, a newline does not result in a new line. This has been OK before, it probably got changed to save some reddish paint when closing a PRE block, it should not influence other tags though.

I've noticed this as well. I think it's browser specific (I use IE8).

FF3.0

Hmmm, maybe I'm wrong. Let me do a little test.
Is there a space between this line and the previous one for each browser? We shall see.
Let's see how CP handles line breaks when there isn't HTML ending a line.

no more than two pixels on FF3.0

Yeah, looks like CP handles it improperly (at least according to my definition). My message renders to the following HTML:
Hmmm, maybe I'm wrong. Let me do a little <b>test.</b>
<br />Is there a space between this line and the previous one for each browser? We shall see.<br /><br />Let's see how CP handles line breaks when there isn't HTML ending a line.
There are two BR's when there's no HTML tag and one BR when there is one.

The text we enter gets modified in several ways as we are not expected to enter correct HTML (we don't start with a tag such as <p>), and there are hyperlinks and smileys and what have you that need being transformed. And then something special is done about all NewLine characters and probably <br> tags too.

I gathered as much, but thanks anyway.

As I type this message I am experiencing some serious auto sing outs i.e. type user name and password and tick remember me and click on sign in only to be redirected back to this forum (new message aspx) and I am not signed in?

The problem is your user ID. IDs that are nothing more than a default value assigned to a new user are automatically rejected by the system. At this very moment, a hit squad of deranged hamsters is on their way to your exact location. Their mission is to exact retribution in the form of bizarre sexual punishments, simply because you refuse to chage your User ID to something that resembles human readable form. their exploits will be compiled, soon to become a motion picture. The movie's tagline will be "...and then, the hamsters showed up".
You should be afraid... VERY afraid.

I dont think its because of my ID. Ive been using it for the last 2 years and 9 months without a problem. Anyways man I will let you pick a "human readable name for me" as your imagination never fails to amaze me.

"The Programmer Previously Known as 4277480"
No, wait. Not only is that too frakking long, it's a blatant ripoff...
Hmmm. See, the problem I have with these numeric IDs is that there's no way to abbreviate them. If we were in a hurry, and called you "4", over 1.1 million users on CP could answer to the name.
"Dick Bender / Private Eye"
Well, maybe not. It's difficult to come up with something when you're not the person that needs the new ID...
Maybe "Completely Unoriginal User ID"... Kinda long, still...

The easy way out is to ignore messages by numeric members; sooner or later they will either disappear or become smart enough to change their account name.
I never have and probably never will understand why people get and accept, or choose to have a numeric name, it reminds me of Auschwitz and Guantanamo.

We all are going to RIP someday and as time passes forgotton forever, besides that, each human being whether he/she likes it or not is referenced by a number in government databases so I dont see a problem in that (Although I agree with you they dont call themselves with that number). Anyways, feel free to call me what ever you want.

Ex-4277480 or x-4277480 or x4277480

Agreed lol

How about new ID();

So you refresh a couple of times and you then appear signed in?
Sounds like a caching issue. Are you using Google Chrome?
