I just have to ask: SonofaOceanTiki, if this is all on the up and up, why all the editing of the original posts, and by "each" of you? If OT doesn't have a computer, it seems a little coincidental that he went down to "the center" to edit his posts about the same time you edited yours. And why remove all the links? These actions seem to contradict your back-peddling explanations.

Multiple identities are pretty common out on the interwebs, especially places like eBay. I can see why someone with multiple logins for the purposes of promoting and commenting on their ebay sales (or having their friends do it) wouldn't think twice about doing the same on a site like TC. It's pretty clear that OT's original "Best deal" post is an eBay-style sales pitch, especially when he chimes in later to add "and I got a free sign, too" and all his emploring to "check them out / he will give you a great deal", etc. Crafty, all of it, but not cool here.
