This Koavf shows remarkable endurance and single mindedness. It is indeed a pity that such talents cannot be diverted to a more useful cause. The great majority of at least his recent edits (I have no time or patience to look back very far) have little or no substance. They are trivial corrections and categories and that sort of thing. No doubt he runs bots.

No, he doesn't. How much "endurance" does it take to log into a WP account, start a PHP bot on your PC, and leave it running for hours? That is why he's got so many blocks and been dragged to AN/I so many times---because he doesn't watch his own bots.

Yes, I did say explicitly "No doubt he runs bots." But not all his edits I think are by bots.
