You just replied to the biggest D3rbyshire-obsessed spammer of them all, without knowing it. Note "uBend"'s oddball " posted as news in: " 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. -- "To explain the unknown by the known is a logical procedure; to explain the known by the unknown is a form of theological lunacy." ~David Brooks --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Dada-1 * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38) --- Synchronet 3.16a-Win32 NewsLink 1.98 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
