Claiming to be 15 does deepen my concern, because I clearly remember
seeing Josh claim to be 19 on the lkml about two months ago [1], so
this is clearly a mismatch. If even his age has different versions, it
makes me doubt whether the rest of what he says can be trusted.

I previously had a private conversation with Steven Rostedt regarding
Josh. At the time, Steven felt that Josh was just a young kid that
didn't know any better, but in the end, Steven also gave up and decided
to stop helping him [2].
