You just replied to the biggest D3rbyshire-obsessed spammer of them all, 
without knowing it.

Note "uBend"'s oddball "<nym> posted as news in: <mid>" attrib line. That marks 
uBend as a sock of the posting entity I call Morphy. That name derives from the 
last truly long-lived nym of his having been "murphy", and morph, for what he's 
constantly doing (besides obsessing about D3rbyshire, whoever THAT is).

Morphy will troll newsgroups in rec.* and comp.* under various nyms accusing 
people of being D3rbyshire. He seems to think that since he's a sock-using 
nymshifting tard that every nym he sees is probably also a sock of a sock-using 
nymshifting tard -- classic projection.

He's also guilty of spamming -- actual, honest-to-God spamming. More 
specifically he's made several multiposts lately, some with BIs up into the 
teens, as "Hydra_Blanket" and variant nyms and as "CastAlone".

Since killfiling the twit won't work due to his morphing, I recommend simply 
ignoring him the old-fashioned way. If a nym's unfamiliar look for things like 
"posted as new in:", "oH Dear", one-word questions like this:

>> "someone?"

and other oddly formed questions, such as

>> The fact the cross-poasted threads are not a
>> subject of attack has escaped your notice?

And, of course, "D3rbyshire" and unsubstantiated claims that random people are 
sockpuppets of someone with that name.
