What do you call it when somebody makes up a new identity on a message board, say, maybe after being kicked off or leaving in a huff under their old identity, then comes back on to the message board pretending to be a n00b and asking one or a series of innocent-seeming but subtly loaded questions?
I've seen this phenomenom several times and I think I'm able to spot it when it exists, but I don't know the name for it. It's not "lurker", it's not "troll", what is it? I'm not so up to date on internet words.
Are you asking that question in this particular thread because you think your scenario applies to me? If indeed that is what you are thinking then you are not as good of a "spotter" as you may think you are.

your costing yourself money with no authentication.
good luck with your sale, but your on the wrong message board, and its lame that this was your first post.
Welcome aboard in any event.
