de novo dahl

In a case of multiple personalities that would make even the most experienced therapist sweat, de novo dahl is not just one Metafilter spammer... s/he's four men and one woman. More than this; de novo dahl is a band. Three throwaway comments after joining, they posted a link to their bands website. Let's take a look at some of their lyrics comments.

"Thanks!"
(from the
2008 Animated Short Film Oscar Noms FPP)

"Mario and Sonic in the same game makes me feel dirty. It's like if Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff were on the same show. Oh wait."
(from the New Meaning to "Gettin Smashed All Weekend" FPP)

"I love me some jezzball, but this is pretty buggy. Thanks for the link though. One more thing to do instead of actually working."
(from the Jumpin' Jezzballs FPP)

Interestingly, de novo dahl did not feel the mighty wrath of The Banhammer and has since gone on to contribute two songs to Metafilter Music and 3 answers to AskMe. So not banned... but probably should have been. Merciful indeed is our Lord cortex, who killed the spammy post but spared the spammer.
