What change in style?
(Nevo, Jan 23) And the Melchizedek Priesthood may not have been restored until the summer of 1830, several months after the organization of the Church.

It's not bizarre if one remembers that Will's true religion isn't the LDS gospel, but rather Will himself.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

I think it's likely that David is correct. and "Nomad" is a name shared by some people. I think there is zero doubt that Will is one of the people that use the moniker.

As an aside, I hope that Don's presentation is all that he hopes it to be. I admit I sometimes feel sorry for (the less vitriolic) apologists. They really have a tough job, and most new information turns out to be hostile towards belief. So it would be nice to see them win one.

This was my favorite quote from that thread (emphasis mine):

Ha ha. Ha. Ha.
Looking forward to your presentation though, Don. I may come to at least one day of the FAIR Conference myself this year.
