It's been mentioned before, but one of the synonyms for "soon" is "anon." (Check a thesaurus if you don't believe me.) Ever hear the phrase "See you anon"? And, as anybody on the Chans knows, "anon" is also short for "anonymous."
What gets me is that even the world's shittiest proofreader should have caught and corrected an error as obvious as that – unless there was an intended alternate meaning. This is one of the reasons I hold even a tiny amount of hope that the guy could have been living incognito for the last 20 years.
