An impostor has appeared, calling him/her self probonopubllico ...
(Note the double 'L')

Made four postings recently 187238, 187237, 186384, 187059 ... all
time stamped 7 April.

Will everyone kindly note that it is not my style to be rude.

Many thanks!

Hello probonopublico, 

I recommend that you send an email with the quotes from this imposter
to mailto:answers-editors@google.com and tell them that the person is
pretending to be you. I can tell you that I was originally fooled by
the posts and that I have now sent off my own email to the editors
asking for them to deal with this individual. I will also be sure to
inform the other researchers about what is happening. Hopefully we can
get this resolved for you ASAP.

On a brighter note, I think you can take it as a compliment that
someone would like to be you. :)

Brilliant, tisme, Many thanks.

However, I have already contacted the Editors.

I think probonopubllico should be told to get the L out. ;-)

I remember a city council election where the opposition party ran a
candidate with no experience but the same name -- except for the
middle initial -- as one of the incumbents.  The incumbent printed up
posters that highlighted the correct middle initial.  Come election
time, the incumbent got the most votes of all the council candidates;
the inexperienced candidate went down to defeat.

So here's a slogan: "Spell it with one L: the only true
probonopublico." :-)

Probono,

I wonder now, how in the world could you have predicted all this to happen:

Am I Personally Liable for Indiscretions made by my Double?

Don't worry PB. We're on to the impostor.

Jinx ;-)

PB, 

Your little doppleganger friend has just added this one:

I am sorry for the confusion. I am the same person as probonpublico,
but I just mistyped. So to be clear, all of these posts are from the
same person. I am sick and tired of GA and I have impostered myself to
prove a point.

To probonopubllico-ga [with 2 Ls],

Your name has existed on Google Answers for three days. 
Probonopublico-ga [with one L] has been on Google Answers since June. 
So, I think it's safe to say that 2 Ls, not one L, is the imposter.

Justaskscott - Your research is incorrect! I have been posting for
less than 24 hours (actually around 20) How can you say I have been on
for 3 days? You must not know how to find information on the web.

Your first posting was on April 5.  Strange how "20 hours" can just fly by.

Well then, I certainly must humbly apologize and ask for forgiveness
from such a respected member of the Google Answers community.  This
must be why I'm NOT a researcher, as you can clearly see by the lack
of a hyperlink on my ID.

Thank you so much for your kind and respectful correction.  I must
say, your previous comments are a wonderful example for all of the
regular followers of Google Answers.

I must apologize to the individual who posted this question and the
team of official Google Researchers.  I momentarily forgot one of the
longstanding rules of online group interactions:  DNFTT.

Bryan,

It looks like they've run you back through the transporter and
reintegrated you with your evil twin! Huzzah!!!!
