Matt, I'll also like to vouche for the Stakemeister (stackelbergfuehrer). He's not a spammer, although it appears he's participated in a small over-enthusiastic indiscretion with the TMTA news.
How about you parole him under the custody of UKBird and confine him to house arrest in the TMTA thread. A two week confinement with Birdy should bring him back to being a good iHub netizen.
