the poor guy!

tojo has a good point there one i never would have thought of, going back through peoples posts if your meeting someone from a forum.

sure people often do present themselves differently on the net but they also often slip up its hard i would imagine to keep a certain persona up after a length of time as he said its not infallible and you'd need to go by more than just posts alone and take as many precautions as possible, but its a starting point and could give some valuable insight.
