Re-wired must be a 'bot' no ?

No one would waste their time religiously thanking crashaholics all their life right ?
Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    Dunno, but I know s/he's thanked many of my posts over the years, but not all of them. I think rewired must be a human, hiding. Possibly doesn't want to get into spats and is reading/thanking in an environment where s/he doesn't want to get caught up actually writing, or is unable to (e.g. sitting at work taking the payments as people exit the car park).

    :)

    Says the person who has been thanked on average 5 times for every post ...

    Pretty impressive that.

    It's naerlynew, once he lost his life savings on bitcoin it's all he had left. Over the last 7 years no one else has been tragic enough to run a thankbot, not even foxy.

    RW is a sock puppet 'thanking' account of one of the regular housing bears.

    Take a look at the thanks count of our resident pessimists and it's easy to figure out who it is.

    To be fair, re-wired thanks a lot of my posts and I'm hardly a perma-bear.

    PN gets loads of thanks because she posts a lot on the Nice People threads (as do I) which are fun but also thank-a-thons.

    I don't know who they are and I don't care. Life's too short to try to work out everyone's identity. I don't think they are a thank bot though. Every now and again they thank one of my posts even though we hold different opinions.

    I'm also amazed that someone could be PPRd without ever posting, so I'm guessing MSE found a link somewhere to another account.

    I'd be very worried if I ever got a thanks from it.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    How about a small hello from re-wired just to show a little humanity to the board ?
