I feel like this might be a better place to answer matthewchen's question, rather than the Muir thread, so:
All Mefi members plotted on Google Earth.
now, whether his question merited an answer or not? the nature of the question--was it scientific inquiry as suggested above or snarkiness based on CA-centrism at Metafilter? like, discuss.

"♪♫♪MatthewChen is Gathering Demographic Data in Preparation to Recommence Spamming♫♪" doesn't lend itself to balladry quite as well.
And if Lesley Gore has taught us anything, it's that sequel songs usually suck.

I'm starting to wonder whether the moonman is just a more garrulous version of goliche. I'm also still irritated that he was allowed to put up yet another Project so soon after his initial self-linking spree. Ah, well.

Whenever matthewchen posted to the blue,
We people on the ‘Filter looked at him:
He was a gentleman from hat to shoe,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he spammed;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"thanks cell divide," and he glittered when he ran.
And he was rich — yes, richer than a king —
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we posted, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And matthewchen, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.

matthewchen was like a cute puppy that's constantly pissing in your shoes.
And, where IS the quality control?

all the spam that you posted, Matthew
in the Blue yard
all disappeared when you went away
I know that living with you was always hard
but I'm not willing to give it another try
cause no one spams
no one spams like you

Of all the link collecting, flamewar fueling, drama queening, newsfilter plagued, self-Godwinizing, left-leaning "best of the web" community blog joints in all the world, you had to walk into mine.
Play it again, matthewchen...

Chen, Matthew tried to spam a certain site
Himself. It struck him dead. And serves him right.
It was the business of that filthy man
To serve as purpose for the permaban.

Matthew Chen wanted some gravy,
"Where is the quality control?" say he.
Though his Metaflirtation
Lead to bannation,
It sure took the pressure off Davy.
(OK, I suck. Next.)

Your mea culpa
Was oh so fake:
"in case the first timer
makes a mistake."
And then you laughed;
Your pants, you pissed 'em:
"Metafilter was auto discovered
by our system"
Try sucking up;
Your chance is fleeting:
"Since then, metafilter
is my daily reading."
Your MP3
Was bona fide.
Short but sweet:
"thanks cell divide."
"how about Tai Chi, Qigong,
can they heal illness?"
Try spam & eggs -
We've had our fill, yes?
So quickly gone,
Yet what shall be
Your epitaph;
Your legacy?
"boring" spake chen
And thus was banned
GODSPEED matthewchen
To megite-land.

I don't think we've heard the last of him, or his ilk.
For wherever community bloggers go unspammed,
He'll be there.
Wherever a market remains unresearched,
He'll be there.
He'll be in the way we yell when we're mad
He'll be in the way kids laugh at a good ol' fashioned flameout
And when we reach fifty thousand posts in the blue
And an elephant lifts his leg to take a squirt,
He'll be there too.

matthew chen, we hardly knew ye.
Just a few messages, all of them screwy.
Alas, it's hard to be sympathetic,
as we deal out our justice poetic.

There once was a dude named matthewchen
Whose posts always made me laugh (true!). Then
His posts all got flagged;
His account--it was bagged;
All on account of the staff. Poo them!

Ok, here's my farewell limerick, which I've naturally decided to ensconce in Chevy Tahoe commercial form.
I know it might be controversial, but as you can see I've also staked out my theological position on matthewchen.

Matthewchen was seventeen
Working on a site
When dershins
Peered upon his console
Asked where is the quality control?
Sometimes these guys
Forget the site they’re posting from
When the site they spam upon
Well, you know
That site as I do
And how in the content of the spam
It can return you the site
That you are posting from
CHORUS:
It’s always better on Projects
So much better on Projects
That’s why it’s evil from deads
To make the money

matthewchen was an excellent sinner
but as a pilot, only a beginner
he dived and he died
and knew just where he'd arrived
with the flaming sign:
After much tormented deliberation (and reinstatement of the blinktag), I've reversed theological course.
