Yes I am convinced that The Observer and WoodCollector are one in the same.
Their grammatical "Your" errors instead of using "You're" is glaring.
T.O. and W.C. are scammers, simple.
Another stylistic element that indicates they are the same person is the fact that both of them never capitalize the pronoun "i".
quotes??
Just go through their recent post history and it becomes obvious. Here are a few though:
Do you want it one of the standard sizes? Do you want it with or without the "trees for the future" brand on it? and are you going to want a QR code and address on the back of it?
If your ok with Black Walnut i could have one done by the weekend, Its the only walnut i stock besides Walnut Burls which would be considerably more expensive. If you want regular walnut it would take me a week to get my hands on some that is already kiln dried. Seeing as Black Walnut is considerably cheaper than the exotic woods i could probably make you one a little larger too. If you wanted one with a gold overlay to accent the black walnut i could do from 10" on down for $130.00 as the original is 10" and i can only scale down not up yet. Shipping to the US on anything over 5.75" is $15.95
If you want regular walnut just let me know and i will find some.

You get the idea I think. Fortunately, the locked ones can't be edited to disguise this fact in the future. Obviously, this isn't certain proof, but it is an unusual stylistic element that shows up in both their posts (more unusual than messing up your and you're*). Given this and the circumstantial evidence that The Observer happened to show up after a 10 month hiatus to defend WoodCollector, I would say they are probably the same person. By the way, The Observer's old posts show the same writing style, so I doubt it is a bought account.
Nice. Looks WC doesn't even care as the writing styles are a perfect match lol.
So funny to see someone try so hard to deceive then fall flat on their face.
Epic!!
