While our new LF may not have the connections that the old one did, maybe we can help make him better. That's right gentleman (and Ladies) we have the technology, we can rebuild him. We all can contribute to LF and maybe make him, or her, as good, or better if everyone contributes, as the old one.

I can't say I completely agree with the above...

If he was like "Hey guys! I wanna get Looking Forward type posts up! Who has tips or wants to help out?" it would be appropriate. If he made these predictions without ripping off LF's identity (as several CD members did in regional competition threads), it would be appropriate. But basically, some member that no one knows decided for themselves that they were going to be Looking Forward, a title obviously somewhat held in regard here. And we're all supposed to just go along with that? How do we know there's not anyone better for the job who just decided it wasn't okay to imitate someone?

To new LF: I'm sorry I've been a bit harsh with a bold move. Bold moves are not bad things... but please, change your name or use your normal account though if you want to make predictions, in honor of the real LF.
