As identified on several threads and a quick look at its posting history confirms as much, its clear that Paddy1970 is a bot.

Q:
1. What is PH policy regarding bots posting ?
2. Does PH create, procure or use any bots to post on forums?
3. What would you like humans to do when a bot appears in a thread ? Engage, ignore or report?

TiA.

Thanks for the report. That is what we would like PHers to do if they suspect bots.

Action has been taken on the reported suspected bot.

Let us know if you see any others.

I think it's also a fair certainty the user "Mr Select" is also a bot, oddly one that's been designed to advertise Shell and thier service station facilities and fuels.

Not any longer, MrSelect has hit the road.
