I'm looking at this on Eternal September an it shows Manu's message as a 
direct reply to my post - the start of this thread. ES does not show any 
post for Manu so I assume that there are other news servers involved and 
other messages missing. Maybe someone can reconstruct what has happened 
via header examination.

GG's just acting more childish than usual. The plain text part is
rubbish. It's all in the html part:

     It WAS a direct reply to your post.  "Manu" is the HTML troll,
using a different alias, and in the HTML portion of his post he
answered your question and insulted you in the process.

That was an interesting thought...

I've now run the posting through a Base64 extractor which reports.

"This file does not appear to contain any base64 data."

Having also looked at the raw data in an advanced text editor, the
thing/table/whatever (above) appears within the data exactly as it
presents in the viewed posting.

The only thing of note within is a URL, https://i.imgur.com/ssZlgNm.png 
which displays the real purpose of the posting...

The window display you get from "Help-Trouble shooting information"
hilighting the path to the profile.

So still no idea what the above thing is...  ;-)

No, it has non-legal base64 characters, it's deliberate shenanigans by 
"Good Guy" who now seems to be going under the name "Manu Raju"

Probably. Good Guy stated that Ray had stopped him posting in Eternal 
September. As Manu Raju's post also did not appear in E-S, it could well 
be they are the same person (which Ray could perhaps pick up from the 
headers) as the post did appear in a different news server.

Now posting from mixmin.

same sig, same alt tag on html images, same tactic of different content 
in plain text and html body parts, same from addr ... quack, quack

I think it's the same guy Todd, or just "T" who posts in the win10 group.

He lied. Ray isn't allowing HTML alternate part attachments nor any HTML
marked up text in plain text newsgroups. He can be every bit as idiotic
in plain text with no attachment and no HTML markup. He knows exactly
what Ray filters.

Ray did not stop him. He chose not to post in plain text. He made that
decision for himself. It wasn't made for him by Ray.

I could see in www.eternal-september.org "Terms of use"  that binaries 
aren't allowed in text-only groups, but I couldn't see anything about 
disallowing HTML (or is that the "etc" in the restrictions?).

There was a reply post by Manu Raju with the subject "Re: Comparing the 
Network Behavior of Popular Browsers on First-Run" in this NG at 19:56 
on 09/04/2021. It was made in plain text.

It's a plain text newsgroup. HTML markup isn't plain text. The only
question to ask is why other servers don't prohibit it.

Because users should control what they want to see and what not. 
Filters are created for that purpose.

Who is this guy called Good Guy?  I don't see any of his posts here but 
perhaps it is because I filtered somebody by that name last year when he 
was attacking me and calling me all sorts of names.  this is ridiculous 
you are giving him publicity to that miscreant.

Just do something else and stop discussing him/her here.  He has nothing 
useful to contribute here or on Linux newsgroups.

hi seamus

Don't top post to discuss another fuckhead.

bye seamus

Plain text is a well-understood concept. HTML markup isn't plain text.
It's not hard to grasp that HTML isn't plain text and doesn't belong in
a newsgroup intended for plain text discussion.

What has any of this have to do with a Firefox profile?

Isn't there some policy that a subject should be changed if the topic 
changes, cross-posted to the correct group for the new topic with 
Followup-To set to that group?

Why are you top posting and why are you posting a followup in a
discussion you claim not to be interested in, thus prolonging it?

What exactly did you do to break Thunderbird that you turned the
entire quote into an unreadable text wall by removing all the necessary
interstitial blank lines between paragraphs?

Well, that would be pretty damn rude to attempt to inflict such a
discussion upon the readers of another newsgroup, given that the
regulars of this newsgroup were the one discussing the troll's antics.

It would be really nice if Good Guy, any/all of his nyms, and all
other known trolls were ignored so that this new group doesn't turn
into the craphole that the Win10 group (for just one example) has.
