As he stopped being a company director in January I'd consider this step reasonable and overdue (he made 6 posts with the old nick after the fact). The Managing Partner title was a relict of the old Hyperion VOF days anyway. Admittedly, he simply could have got his account renamed instead of creating a new one. As was revealed by Evert Carton, Ben Hermans was the only one using the Hyperionmp account anyway and also kept posting under this account during his alleged hiatus between 2003 and 2009 when Evert Carton was the sole Hyperion VOF Managing Partner.
