I have never heard of ELM, are they some kind of developers?
ELM Group (Stafford) is mostly focussed on medical projects. They have collaborated with the Staffs Uni on Web and IT projects, developed collaborations with other universities medical schools, and aims to bring more young scientific talent to the town

Looks like he tunneled out of the lock-up from across the road, into the gothic cottage.
He'll escape one day!

Gothic Cottage is now owned by ELM (Stafford) and the Managing Director is indeed Martin Lennon from the Rugby Club.

I have just done a bit of googling on this for no other reason than I am interested in my local town and what goes on, who does what, where and with whom.
I have also been taking an interest in this building to see who would buy it and what they would do.


ELM (who have bought it) are a company which appear to have 2 directors

One is Martin Lennon from the Rugby Club (otherwise known as @MAL on the Rugby thread

The other director is Mark Kingsley.

So is @Coeus who has been providing the updates the other director?

Ie the one that isn't MAL?

I do understand about respecting peoples anonymity but when this involves business and information that is available online ...does that still count?

Companies House gives the 2 directors as:

Martin Anthony Lennon and
Mark Kingsley Collingbourne

Enjoying a drop of red.

@Coeus is in fact @MAL. Presumably he re registered under another name in order for him to appear to have some support in the rugby club thread and thinks we're too stupid to work it out.

The arrogance associated with that club beggars belief.

.

Oh I see.

So he buys and wants to update an iconic building in Satfford.

But he can't be honest about who he is?

Why?

All the other business owners on this forum come on with their business name/who they are and try to promote themselves with honesty and integrity.

And quite rightly that they should do so.


So @MAL and @Coeus must have a guilty conscience then?

You might say that; I couldn't possibly comment.

The plot definitely thickens.................

Forum O. G.
In the past, there have been people who have been Forum members in a private capacity and also as the 'voice' of an 'entity' - they have, though, always kept both "personalities" quite separate. I can only think of two, off-hand, and one of those took me a long time to spot - the other was quite open about it.

In general, I believe that you can only be 'one member' on here without special agreement, or subterfuge - shared IP addresses are fairly easy to spot.

Some people do sometimes sign up here again after an absence, having forgotten their passwords, or even their Forum names - you can sometimes spot them in the Birthday section. I once noticed three similar names come up with the same birthday.....

Why would @MAL pretend to be @Coeus ?
Take your pick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_(Internet)

If they are socks, it's pretty harmless stuff so far, though it's not really 'the done thing'.

It's a bit like asking a forumer for their identity. If they don't want to reveal it, fair enough, but they shouldn't be pressed on it. Forumers will reveal as much or as little as they want.

As an aside, regarding my identity, if you know me, then you'll know who i am; if you don't then you won't. But it won't take much sleuthing to work out who I am; a couple of google searches and bingo!

2 + 2 = ...

I did briefly consider posting something to the effect of 'why worry about the windows when you could knock the lot down and build a rugby pitch on it', but i don't think MAL/Coeus is the sharpest tool in the box, tool though he may be, and would not have been able to have seen the equivalence.

2 + 2 = 5

I really don't get why anyone would want to be a multi on a small site like this because it is so easy to spot them. I can also spot them on bigger sites as well and I report them if they are making trouble on threads.

I think it's pretty obvious that it is MAL. Given the slating he's had on here he probably felt that he'd start afresh without any preconceptions. To be honest that doesn't really bother me and fair play to him coming on here in the first place to try and alleviate concerns over the rugby club. I don't necessarily think he's a bad person because of the rugby club episode, at the end of the day it's the council/planners who will have to answer to the fallout as they have passed it. The rugby club have requested permission, as anybody can, and it's upto the council to say yay or nay.
