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.
No it's not. Is english your first language?
Yes, it is. So now you're going to argue about grammatical correctness? I don't think you really know where you're going with your argument here.
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?
I already explained this. I said in the light of the other evidence it is the best interpretation. We know that Dan was reviewing many coins.
So it makes sense that it what he did with HAL too.
No one is questioning whether or not he code reviewed for Hal. We all know for a fact that he did. What has come to light from those screenshots is that Dan is also "the anon dev for Hal".
Are you really having trouble following all this? Sorry to sound mean, but I feel like I've been talking to a little kid.
Also, you haven't responded to this:
EDIT: I just reread the screenshots, like you suggested. Take a look at this one: http://imgur.com/a/1xbWq#2 (

So they are talking about Dan in this one and Prom says: "he was 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.
