Xlnt post. I had the same hunch. There was a pilot at HA who was on Flyertalk, who previously sent me private messages, and who was in touch with their VP of customer relations (as though they had any). I know I should welcome new posters to Flyertalk, but sometimes I too am a little leery. As an aside, I have also come to take posts on tripadviser.com with a grain of salt after determining that there's "funny business" in many of the posts.
