No, I'm good. Thanks!
I've got the next door neighbors pool to scrape that stuff off into.

That guy http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=10660757[^] gives answers to many old - some of them several years old - questions. Some of the comments given to his solutions clearly state that such answers are not OK. With his answers, those old question show up in the list of question inmidst current questions - and hence may seduce others to add further answers to long solved problems.
What to do with him?
I think a functionality to "close" old topics would remove such problems caused by juniors - without negative interference with their ego.

I think our typical Q&A forum comment "What have you tried so far?" based on the Matt Gemmell's article is a holy cow. It is really something valuable to read and think at, for most of our inquirers.
It makes even funnier to see such comments as OP's: How do I get password box working if I hit enter after I fill the password in?[^]
from http://www.codeproject.com/Members/thisCodeProjectEnabledtrue[^].
Note that it happened after OP got a really comprehensive and detailed answer which took time.
Of course, this is not about getting offensive of ridiculous accusations (even though I consider using bad words absolutely unacceptable, even if "encrypted" form). This is about different thing: clear indication that a person is not really interested in out help. So, why wasting time for help? Could be at least a good candidate for personal "ignore lists". Perhaps we need a mechanism of warnings.
That is sad: this person responded to the warning: "It's fine". He has many aliases to register at CodeProject again. It means, his own behavior is not even considered as an issue.

This "question"[^] is another setup for spam answers.

I was wondering how a useless article Merge Two Class Data in C#[^] has votes of 1 or 5, no votes of 2, 3 or 4. More surprisingly there are several votes of 5 while I think there should be none. I was so surprised that I checked the profile of one of those who had voted 5 and it was really strange. Check his messages from here[^]. There are hundreds of 5 votes with the same message: "Nice...". Now that could be his style, but look at the timestamps. He is almost always giving the votes a few times in a row within a minute or two. No human can read articles so fast so it must be a bot. There is defintely some misuse with that user account (Humayun Kabir Mamun)[^].
Why I take this so personally? Because I really like codeproject and want to trust the voting system. I read the mentioned article because of several votes of 5 and it was complete waste of time.

I was having close eye on that account and in the meantime, you spotted/reported it..
Looks like rep hunting,but i am going to make comment on his message. Let's listen to him.

You can open more tabs with articles, read them and close the ones you don't like. Then when done, vote the remaining ones and... hopla. You are bot.
I am not saying anything about the quality of the votes or the articles, I just wanted to point out, that the timestamps might be not an accurate "judging tool"
On the other hand, I agree with you. Many of his votes don't make much sense.
Edit: I have taken a look to his profile and history. OK, he is giving 5 to many articles that don't really deserve them, but I don't think he is rep. hunting. 6+ years here and still about 3,5k reputation. The answers in the QA are mostly legitime and trying to help.
I don't think he is to be reported.
Other people thoughts?

Well, in any case the orginal article Merge Two Class Data in C#[^] voting behaviour is still strange. There are 9 votes at the moment. It seems that every time there is a new vote of 1 there is also a new vote of 5.
