I actually was planning on not making more than one post every couple of

the posts don't contain valuable information.

But I don't have a strong opinion about it, and you're not the first
person to say that I shouldn't do it, so I'll stop it now.

I see nothing wrong with you posting once a week, biweekly, monthly
just to point out that he is a kook who will try moving the goalposts
rather than do a honest test of his system.

Particularly if the goal is to get into people's killfiles. That's
a great way to go about it, ensuring there's no signal in any posts.
