Three days after the thread started. ✓

Definitively good advice and answers already given. ✓

Thread has died down. ✓

LILO strategy applied. ✓

Anonymous post. ✓

“Quotes” and italics. ✓

Extremely vague, we might even say historically partly probably, regurgitation of already given advice. ✓

Looks like a good start on rules for an AI engine to auto detect anony-sunny posts. Some more:

• Node-id very close to another anony post.
• Use of "American quotation style."
• Underlining random words that are not links.
• Making up hyphenated words (e.g. not-unexpected, independently-reliable, somewhat-familiar).
• No code (or at most "extemporaneous code").
• Same homespun wisdoms repetitively posted to questions to which they barely relate.
• Responding to the wrong post.
• Extravagant typography, stylistic devices, flowery analogies, and unnecessary quotes ... though he appears to have toned these down recently.
• Giveaway words/phrases (e.g Rhett Butler, tinker's dam, brownie points, FSM, ...). Also toned down recently.

Bugging regulars. ✓
