Opini, what is it that's odd about her posts? I can't quite put my finger on it. Can you figure it out?
Kelda:
I recognise the names of both JC and Xaerax but don't 'know' them.
also somebody emailed the tremlay yahoo list and asked the same question... don't think anyone has replied to that person either...
Ray:
Totally off topic, but where have you been Kelda?! Can i assume that the new relationship is working nicely and he has distracted you away from us?

Here's my take on it. This individual has no posting history AT ALL before March 15, and attributes that to being a shy lurker. And then, on March 15, suddenly appears at CT (NEVER having posted at IMDb anywhere), and says she's so glad to have found our group, and how we're so wonderful and intelligent, and she's suddently everyone's best friend. Anyone being so suddenly friendly, and having never posted a single thought about BBM, esp on the TOB, makes me immediately suspicious.
She bumped many, many of our classic threads to the top during the major troll attack under the guise of reminding us of the good stuff. Usually those who lurk around don't like posting much, and do so rarely. This one claims to have lurked, but then goes in the totally other direction, posting copiously, PMing, and being very aggressive about being considered a valued part of the community. Anyone this chatty and with this much to say is an odd lurker!
My favorite post of JCobserver was the one where she listed actual hotlinks to other forums we might consider joining since CT was being decimated - just trying to help us all out. So considerate to list all that right on-line for the trolls to read....
So many had the same response of "something's weird here" so I trust that instinct completely.

I find it interesting. You're right, I hadn't noticed that major change in her posting habits. You say she's been PM-ing you constantly? That's a little strange. Not exactly shy about coming forward, is she? I haven't really been paying too much attention to her posts, to be honest. Does she show much knowledge of the film? Like, details you'd get from being invested in it? Boy, I hope she really is a troll. I'd feel awful if she were just an oddball fan. Jeez, I get the guilties about this stuff. It sets off all of my elementary school you-can't-join-our-club-nyah-nyah antennae.
What about some of the other newbies? Claudia Warton or Wheelchair Jan? Or was it Wheelchair Kay? I can't remember. Wheelchair somebody. Any further word from them? I sort of liked Claudia. I was hoping she'd turn out okay. I'm a sucker for funny Canadians. It's my weakness. But I have many weaknesses
