Yep, I've got him in 2145.
Seems to have the brains of a hamster and puts together his posts by 
randomly attacking the keyboard, but he does make one observation I've 
not seen elsewhere.
Trelawney warns Pavil  Pavarti that she must beware of a red-headed 
man. He seems to see  it as a SHIPping forecast that ends badly.

There was also enormous confusion about what JKR's OBE was all about - 
a knightship  or a military award?

BTW - you've  a category for 'humour in the  books' - how about one for 
humour in posts? They can be entertaining in their own right but may 
otherwise be rejected as adding nothing new to the discussion.

Yeah, I'll  take the 2701s but progress will be slower; I've been 
occupying myself with this lot while waiting for some work to arrive - 
and it did an hour ago.
