Looks like code for a new wave of personas to me.

Really, Terrance, I'd rather you ditch Proz and stay on yourself.  I can't
read him anymore. He's just too volumous. I think that's what Jbor meant
when he commented on territorialism in some quarters of the list.  Of course
for a self-centered moment I thought he was referring to me too, but Prozak
looks more like the dog out pissing over every fire hydrant and tree.
