Any special reason why? I searched several of his/her post and they seemed innocuous enough…

I’m sure that you would be more likely to get an answer to your question in About This Message Board. I’ll move the thread…no, I won’t. I don’t know why I said that.

Please ignore everything I say from here on out. Apparently I need more sleep, and a brain transplant.

From what I gather, he was past scofflaw and previously all-around bad-boy Mark Serlin.

Even in your troubled state, you’re definitely right. I’d kindly ask the moderator to transfer this to wherever it should go.

(That’s assuming that Anthracite’s hypothesis is wrong; otherwise, it would seem a case of…“Case Closed”, although an official response would be nice).

Anthracite is right.  
Fartreker was Serlin/Sentinal/Prism02.  
Lynn says so right [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=38571)

Yeah, Far-Trekker was someone else in a past incarnation here (Mark Serlin, possibly among others), forbidden on this board. But since the mods can’t stop the root problem (he must be switching IPs so fast an IP blocker wouldn’t help) they can only ban the incarnations as fast as they find them.
