do you feel confident in this assertion?
do you have any reason at all?
tell us your reasons, and show your facts : FACTS.
if not then learn to calm your tongue.
you are almost certainly wrong.
ps: the only bot i know of at rhp had a well written profile (HAD).

1. a bot is a robot. i think david c was joking: since helden makes a million moves a day, he has robot-like stamina. it wasn't a serious allegation, as the smiley clearly indicated
2. this thread is a tribute to helden, we're not picking on him, and i'm pleased to see he's come to sing to us, which doesn't suggest he feels picked on
3. the point about having better things to do with our time is, i have to admit, a very good one. also applies to pretty much every other forum thread of course, and arguably the whole site, the whole game of chess...

i've no idea why
but i'm pleased to welcome him to this thread in his honour
and i don't think he's a BIG CAT
so no need for the caps, old penguinpuffin
lol, no i was shouting over the din of people not noticing his song - how rude!
i agree he is almost certainly not a BIG CAT (no naps).
what do you think his new profile (and indeed his song) tell us about the man of mystery? i'm not certain i'm any the wiser...

Wow, he chose to sing a Bowie song and lists 2 quotes from the same. Im thinking he is between 15-20 years old and likes that animated Bowie movie (i forget the name). His Walter Scott quote makes me believe he enjoys making us guess about him and is enticing us to guess some more. Helden, are you the character from "Catcher in the Rye" that has come to life? (Holden Caufield i think) .... youre an enigma for certain.

I don't see how he could be bothered by this thread since no offenses are thrown at him,there's only genuine interest by who started the thread.

The clincher would be if he thinks 'Golden Years' is the best Bowie track ever...

Now that is a *great* Bowie track. How about 'What In The World'?
Never mind, say something
Wait until the crowd cries
Oh, wait until the crowd cries
You're just a little girl with grey eyes
So deep in your room, you never leave your room
Something deep inside of me - yearning deep inside of me
Talking through the gloom
What in the world can you do
What in the world can you do
I'm in the mood for your love
For your love
For your love
For your love - oh
I'm just a little bit afraid of you
'Cos love won't make you cry
But, wait until the crowd goes
Oh, wait until the crowd goes
I'm just a little bit afraid of you
So deep in your room, you never leave your room
Something deep inside of me - yearning deep inside of me
Is talking through the gloom
What in the world can I do
What in the world can I do
I'm in the mood for your love
For your love
For your love
For your love
Ohh, what you gonna say?
Ohh, what you gonna do?
Ahh, what you gonna be?
To the real me - to the real me
I'm just a cool
Under the cool, and I'm fighting a wall
What you gonna say to the real me, to the real me?
Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh (fade.)

Helden is a machine. First few days of MAPOTM I was sitting pretty, in the lead by THOUSANDS. I don't move for ONE DAY, and the man is not only on the top twenty, but right behind me! Needless to say, I gave the hell up. Anyone who makes more than a thousand moves in one day, REPEATEDLY, needs help. Serious, Freudian, help. All the same, I tip my hat to the man.
Helden, this Buds for you!
