Must admit, when I read the first post I too was convinced this was a wind up. But, after curiosity got the better of me and I followed the Google link to another aviation Forum where he posted exactly the same thing, I now feel he may indeed be genuine - poor soul!
Interesting that his profile on the other forum says he is an IT Consultant. CONSULTANT at 17? More like IT Consultants tea boy! Ahh, I suppose you are consulted by little children when working in Woolworths selling computer games on Saturdays, so I suppose that could be classed as IT Consultant
He really does like to blow his own trumpet - best ever applicant at his AFCO, black belt in Karate, IT Consultant, all at 17

Shame he doesn't extend his abilities to punctuality, grammer and common sense
I am sad that he was banned, his posts were keeping me amussed for hours :-)
MadMark!!!
