They definitely are the same person. Firstly we have a hoda’as baal din above where 80 posted “it also means “peh” in gematria which is what my other screen name has a big one .”
And anyway, if you follow the posts from the final one on the previous page where I wrote:
Mod 80 and mod 88:
Whats the reasons for YOUR names? There cant be 88 mods at ywn so what do the numbers represent?
Anyone care to have a guess?
then the next 4 replies (alternatively by poppa and 80) follow as one.
What I’m puzzled by is why he chose to deliberately expose himself. Its not just the last of those posts but all 4 that he left us in no doubt at all that 80 and popa_bar_abba must be the same guy.
If he’s really a mod and not just a hoax (which the real mods would have realised by now), he could have simply withdrawn the post or ammended his error had it not been deliberate as he hinted when he wrote “Oh. Wrong username”.
Truth is, I’ve always suspected that all the mods have other usernames to allow them to take part in threads annonymously and without having to appear unbiased etc.
And when I saw the detailed opening posts of the Joseph thread which was started by… you guessed it, poppa_bar_abba!!! , I knew he must be a mod to have all those usernames at his fingertips. He posted ” we will list all the names the mods tell us are really Joseph” and then posts 6!
Then he wrote
How do you like this?
Here, he tells us he has been out of work for 18 months:

Here, he has too much money:

So who else are you, and what are you really trying to do???
