What makes you sure that the person is a "he"?

Seems like younger sister of Bonita.

However, Scott seems to act in a eerily similar fashion. Fair enough?
The quoting wrt failing to add attributions and general insulting style
rings a bell?

Sorry, but these are really superficial parallels.

Indeed. However, they are fairly similar nonetheless. Just enough to
make one ponder... ;^)

I hadn't noticed. Bonita seems far more sane.

An obvious and successful troll. Either a Bonita alias or copycat. It
amazes that otherwise sensible posters keep responding to both of them.

Sometimes, just sometimes, some side threads can be created from the
trolling, that is actually interesting.

This is not an example of that phenomenon.

Scott Newman's posts lack any sign of intelligence, Bonita's do not. I can't imagine Chris Thomasson finding anything interesting in Scott Newman's worthy of a reply, as he clearly has in Bonita's. On the other hand, Scott Newman's posts are clearly mimicking some less fortunate aspects of Bonita's style.

Indeed. Bonita is smart. Its just the insults and the lack of
attributions that sparked something within me to, take an interest in
the apparent similarities.

Bonita's input has created very interesting threads. Imho, Bonita
created a very interesting read write mutex. Nice and interesting. I
even recreated it in Relacy.

This is basically impossible to disagree with. Humm...
