A more pertinent question might be why you put the word the in front of the words "hal dev". Prom did not say he was the hal dev. Go back and read it if you doubt me.
Okay, "Dan is hal dev". Having "the" in there doesn't change things that much. I put "the" in there because I'm just trying to use proper english. The meaning is the same.
Now I'm going to turn this around ask YOU why you put in the words "was", "a", "who", "looking", "at", "code", and completely switched the order of "hal" and "dev" to finally get "Dan was a dev who was looking at Hal's code."
You see how ridiculous your argument is?
EDIT: I just reread the screenshots, like you suggested. Take a look at this one:

the anon dev for HAL".
I'm curious how you're going to interpret this one and how many words you're going to add.
Also, you never answered my question of why you think that Prometheus telling one person on skype that Dan is hal dev would boost the popularity of Hal. This was your original reasoning for Prom claiming that Dan is hal dev.
Not at all. It is in line with what Dan did on many occaisions. He reviewed coins. Were you aware of that?
Yeah, I'm fully aware of all the code reviews he did. Most of which were Prometheus promoted coins.
This shows that Prom and Dan had a much closer association than just simply Prom asking Dan to look at a code. As stated, they were a team. This is what I meant by "works together".
No it doesn't. And I don't think a reasonable person would jump to that conclusion if they looked at all the facts.
Can you give the context of that chat?
So how do you define the word "team" then?
I'm sorry, but I feel like your logic/reasoning and definitions are just completely flawed in almost all of your arguments.
