Why did you change the spelling of "Derbyshire" in the quoted material? I was 
trying to make sure that this sub-thread would be invisible to anyone who has 
chosen to killfile all messages containing that name.

Misquoting is always discourteous to the person you are misquoting, and in this 
particular case is also discourteous to anyone using a killfile for that 
purpose.

It is unfortunately impossible to participate in USENET as long as I have 
without becoming aware of the phenomenon. However, I am glad to say that I am 
totally ignorant of the who's-who of the whole spam team, and intend to stay 
that way.

I just wish everyone who does care about who is or is not Paul Derbyshire would 
take themselves off to a newsgroup dedicated to the subject, and leave the rest 
of the newsgroups for discussion of their proper topics.
