Saw that after posting this. I feel like a dumb.

That account is a bot. Not an insult as it is a useful bot. But that is why they spotted it.

No, just a new user.

Don't feel like a dumb.

You should probably allay @hlloyd1925's fears you were accusing them. No automation, just sometimes paying attention.
