@Jan once posted a fake spam for my happiness in the tavern.

Jan, have you ever considered being a moderator? You would make an amazing mod. Sites like Drupal really need active mods.

Or even SO for that matter. Maybe you should stand in the next election. You have my vote for sure.

@Qantas94Heavy Not sure, I've just seen >3 of his posts in the LQP queue. So I checked his other answers out and found 6 link only answers posted in ~30 mins.

I do think flagging is a good idea here..
