Jeff, need your help

Jeff, while I know you have better things to do, can you please take another look at the thread on the Nanny forum about the abusive nanny-I think the header is "Parents, read this whether or not you are hiring a nanny...". Is there any sock puppeting going on here? One poster has actually challenged another to ask you if they are the OP or not. Even if you can't really determine that, what is your opinion about what is going on with this thread, if any? Repeated attempts to google the Craigslist post mentioned in the thread have proved unsuccessful.

As I said before, I don't really know what is going on with that thread. The original poster seemed somewhat obsessive given she originally posted her message multiple times, and quickly noticed (and inquired) when I deleted it. When she reposted, she also posted on Craig's List. With that kind of dedication to getting her message posted, one would expect some interest in following up. Yet, I am not aware of her visiting the thread following her initial post.

All the bickering in that thread is really ridiculous. Why not just stop replying to the thread and let it die? If you don't believe the original post, why keep bumping it so it gets more attention?

I don't see any obvious sock puppeting, though you appear to be engaged in a bit of a game in the last few posts. I think I know what you are trying to do, but it's really not worth the effort.

Thanks Jeff, I respect your opinion and want to thank you for taking the time to go through the whole post in order to give it.
