Putting aside the fact that I find your criteria outrageous, have you looked at LT's contributions? What is the problem? Mark

It's pretty simple really, using the old saw:
- They look like a duck. Check, derivative
usernames (Entmoots of Trolls, JRR Trollkien, Leo Trollstoy)
- They walk like a duck. Check, editing mostly the
same articles as the banned user did.
- They quack like a duck. Check, the edits made to
the above-mentioned articles are virtually the same as those made by the banned user.
Even with all three of these being the case, it is hypothetically possible that they are not, indeed, a reincarnation of the banned user. However I think it is overkill to go to their house, knock on their door and ask "Hey, are you [banned user]?" Assuming that the banned user was banned for their behavior, it makes sense that a new account displaying the same behavior should also be banned.
