Rogue poster; admonishes original post is a fake.

Several statements indicating ability to use thesaurus and sound educated in contrast to previous posters without much actual addition to content of discussion.

Replication of information from various sites without attribution so as to make it appear I am knowledgeable in the area under discussion, which is still not the topic of the thread.

Reference to original post. Expression of astonishment that someone would cast aspersions on honest request for assistance and information.

insert facepalm in reference to last post
