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.
