(meta commentary)

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that this HN account only posts articles from The Register on a daily basis and who's only comment history is providing archive links in a near automated fashion?

Based on their rate of posting and the near synchronized posting times a day, this account just does not feel like a good faith account.

FYI, you can report these to HN's intrepid mods at hn@ycombinator.com (which I've done on your behalf).
Their very long HN bio ends with

"PS: definitely not ElReg's aMfM"

Isn't that a breach of HN's rules? My understanding is HN cracks down on bots and bot-like behavior.
