This last point is BS. It even says at the CCT4 site that the programs rating is
estimated at 1800. The high rating of the account just means he uses it for
other programs too and he has said as much.

If you extrapolate from meager evidence and do it publicly you are bound to reap
more harm than good. Stop!

This should be handled through private email and not here.
