Just so there's no mistake

Gee. I wonder if this person is another unpleasant womanmouth with a computer who takes every opportunity to post supercilious abuse to someone, even though he knows nothing about the history behind what he has read.

Which is lengthy and complex in this case. But why think and do research when you can just run your unpleasant woman mouth, eh?

Or is it the same troll I was talking to?

Don't like my style, "Robert"? Tell it to someone else.

You have no other choice.

One buttumes you already know that you are telling it to someone else, given this statement in the post you are responding to:

Note: I won't be downloading any articles on this thread. ---------------------------------------------------------

Which means that you are probably a troll: Trolls are incapable of believing that anyone could actually refuse to read their articles.

They think they have credibility just because they can post on the Usenet.

And that their digital diarrhea can somehow harm whomever they are talking about.

ROTFL

Unfortunately, any ignorant child with their mommy's computer can post anything on the Usenet.

For someone other than me to read.

I notice that you are posting through multikabel. That's a very popular newsserver with trolls.

$ whois -h whois.ripe.net:43 84.105.182.228

-------------------------------------------------------- I am only Network/RIPE Administrators at Multikabel N.V. and the IP's you see are in use by customers, so:

- "I" did *not* hack your computer - "I" did *not* sent you spam or any virus - "I" will *not* read or reply to your abuse complaints

If a customer has sent you one of the above items. send --------------------------------------------------------

Not hard to see why multikabel is popular with trolls. The newsadmin there is denying any responsibility right from the getgo.

It's a Dutch ISP, but this fellow probably can't even locate the Netherlands on a map.

All trolls think that everyone on the Usenet is dumb as a brick, and believes that a person has to post their real name on the From line, and that if they have a Dutch name and a Dutch ISP and a Dutch mailbox, then they must be Dutch, living in the Netherlands.

You could be a fat old lady living with 23 dogs in a stinking basement apartment in Chicago.
