To my nose it smells like a conspiracy involving a Saint Shipton and a couple of Moomins to me. I would look into it further but I need to be put many things on ice right now that are not as helpful as could seem.
Anyway I'll go back to lurking for the time being, never been 100% comfortable in this forum and more recently things have felt fishy to me.
Indeed I used to spend a lot of time helping people with questions in DMs but have given up on that as I felt too many people were being dishonest about intentions.

??? Nothing to do with the Moomins, just a lightweight joke - there used to be a model known as "Hayley from Splosh", so I thought it amusing when a random cafe owner handed me, a splosher, a bottle with that name on it. It's one of those places where you say what you want and pay at a hatch, and then they just hand you your stuff, so I didn't choose the bottle, just ordered a Coke Zero and got handed that one. Kind of weird fate type thing.

As I recall, the premise was that Hayley was a real person who worked for Splosh magazine. She had an advice column, posted on the forum, etc. After Bill Shipton died, she also stopped posting, and the reason given (via a third party) was that she was in mourning.
According to Leon Moomin, Hayley never existed. I.e. there was a real model whose photo was used, but all the posts from "Hayley" actually came from Bill, and that's why they stopped after he died. So, this was (allegedly) similar to what happened with "Kelsey Rose" later, i.e. a man posting with someone else's photo.
I don't have any definitive proof either way, so people can form their own opinions.
Love you, too
