I haven't had much interaction with this account, so I can't really 
speak for or against them. I will say that Adam hasn't told me about 
this account, and other than being suspiciously similar to Adam, and 
making lots of edits, what's the harm? If it is another incarnation of 
Lir, and they have the same writing style and habits, why ban them if 
they aren't harassing other users or defacing pages? (Or are they?)
