Our David used three different nyms to try to avoid kfs. All three are 
flagged by the Hog, so that I can see and avoid. Every ever so often he 
creates a new gym. Once a list gets beyond 15 items the Hog starts to have 
problems listing them all. Our David has two lists and I’ve started a 
third. He _really_ likes to nymshift.

I did not see it. Did you want to point to it for me to read?

Yes!  :-D   Maybe you can also suggest why nobody accepted my apology.

Hi everyone. :-)

I should like to apologise for my poor Usenet posting behaviour when I
first came to this group. I had previously only fraternised on 'alt'
groups where, as I'm sure many of you know, there is much trolling and
bad behaviour. I didn't fully appreciate that this is a 'formal' Usenet
group and I most certainly did not intend that any bad actors should
follow me here but, as some will know only too well, they did. I am
really sorry and hope that at least some of you will forgive me.

I have paid for a number of on-line courses over the years and, with the
advent of a new operating system, I am wondering if others here have
ever utilised those available from this fellow:-

https://courses.macmost.com/courses/catalina/

There are three 'sampler' videos at the link which one may watch free of
charge.

If you do have a look, please enjoy.

-- 
With kind regards,
David B.

I do not believe I saw it. You cannot take responsibility for the trolls. They
will troll to troll. But, yes, they pick people to follow. My stalker will
never stop until he can't continue.

Many folk posting on Usenet believe that YOU are the mightiest Troll of all,
Michael! ;-)

However, you have never tried to hurt or harm me in any way and, on many
occasions, have done your very best to help me solve computer-related concerns
to the best of your ability. For that, you have my warmest thanks. :-D

Do they? Keep in mind much of what the trolls say is not to be taken
literally. They do not care about honesty the way you and I do -- they focus
more on tribalism and scapegoating.
