1. As I finally revealed when I retired Greg Clegane, it's obviously not literally accurate, but I think it still holds to an extent. I've been here longer than most, but more importantly I've always banged on about the old days, which is why it kind of stuck. I'm quite conservative by nature too so it's not necessarily wrong. That said I'm not sure how many still think that after this long.
2. I'm either on or off, it's why I didn't make a stopgap player between Clegane and Cast. In terms of TPE I should be reaching peak levels. In terms of what happens in the sim, well I know my way around but I've also had my fair share of luck in the past - STHS is a fickle mistress. In terms of posts, I'll probably never reach the same levels again so if GMs want me to raise LR activity I'm probably not the guy.
