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.
