No.  But I don't recognize "tX'n" or "bogan".

No idea what you mean here either ("fxd"?  "REF?  though the
latter could be a reference to "References" header), but I doubt
it's important.

In general I suppose I don't find some of the old-style techspeak
shorthand very appealing.  Maybe that's why I don't recognize some
of yours.  <shrug>

Ah.  Case and spacing are significant, aren't they.  I did assume
that "Lew Bloch" and "lewbloch" were the same, but that might not
be the case.  Still, some of the posts made by "lewbloch" do show
some familiar tropes (if that's the word I want).  Example:

Message-ID: <90bbfd1b-cb7e-4fbb-9890-f1196c633e8d@a11g2000yqm.googlegroups.com>

("[sic]" and objecting to JAVA, in particular.)

I assumed (apparently wrongly) that you had followed the whole
exchange.  I'd have included a message ID if I'd thought it 
really mattered.  (I think.)  Anyway for the record 

<97hctfFa1jU1@mid.individual.net>

is the one I meant.

Which in its reference headers has a reference to the earlier post
(above).  Does your news reader not make it easy to fetch a post's
parent (in the tree of posts)?

As I understand things, the main piece of advice you have given
me is to change my setup so that it shows something other than
a now-obsolete e-mail address as my "name".  I decline to follow
that advice, yes.

Yes, but again it appears that I have not expressed my meaning
clearly ....

I'm well aware that Google is attempting to carry on with the
complete(?) archive of Usenet posts begun by Deja News, though
sometimes the access they provide to it isn't what one might hope
for.  Is there anyone else who claims to be providing the same
service?  AIUI most news servers do not retain posts indefinitely.

Just for the record, the name "Paul Derbyshire" is not new to me --
I've been following this group for long enough to have observed (and,
alas, participated in) previous discussions in which the name arose.
That's what I meant by "history".  Apparently you thought I meant
something else.  Yeah well.
