If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

He joined today, it links to another site, and it isn't really a question.
I'd suspect that he works for the company that wrote the compiler, but there is no bio.

It's just in the wrong section.

If that's what they call an article I would hate to see their documentation.

This one [link removed] has actually an article in the approval queue (http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=157145&aid=869560[^]).

He received a valid comment about the article and answered rude. Then he started downvoting the articles of the comment poster (see his messages at http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Messages.aspx?fmid=11401546[^]).

I don't think that we should have such members.

[EDIT]
So far I have reported the revenge vote 1 posts as abusive but not the member.

Too late: somebody decided he was not what we wanted and his account is "no active member".
And I suspect staff, as there is no "audit trail" membership list!

What I find weird is that the ative has no label, it seems active to me but there is no report flag. Maybe connected to the big hammer nuke?
