I think there is no doubt they are the same especially with the forensics posted above.
It is sad that so many posters are so sensitive to a little humor/ribbing (or whatever else) ticked them off, that they have to remove themselves but I do appreciate that many people have thinner skins than I do. I miss @Chowseeker1999 and @ipsedixit quite a bit and do occasionally lurk on HO to see what they are up to.
I know CS99 got quite upset with me because of fly-gate and smog-wash. C’est la vie.
