i just poked around and it doesnt seem like this dude.
reason being - on the message boards, he doesnt do that annoying thing where he shortens everyones posting name as if they are close friends hanging out at a bar. but there are so few posts on there that maybe im just missing it.
On LVA, he does the nickname thing to intentionally annoy someone. Get them riled. It may start at being friendly, but he continues if someone objects and he does not "like" them.
He does not seem to do it often, but has to you, and chipchik, and when you both voiced objections, he continued to do so, even using the "nick" several times per post in subsequent messages. His way of being controversial when someone calls him out, especially when he is totally wrong factually.
As for the "other" site, it has not taken off, very few replies, but many of the topics are similar to those he has begun on LVA.
I've always thought his LVA messages are seeking information and input for other reasons, for some sort of personal gain other than "gaming/gambling".
Originally I thought he was some sort of casino person/ consultant to maybe rat out players/opportunities.
The possibility that he is AM, an investigative reporter of sorts, also seems to fit very well with so many of the things he's written. Always seeking information while offering little, if anything, worthwhile in return.
His devils advocate approach just fills the bill, IMO.
Yet, I'm fence sitting. I am very much undecided at the moment.
It is easy for a skilled writer to change writing styles when changing "identities".
