It's just the same little tw@t that regularly changes his name to try and avoid killfiles. Fortunately he's rather easy to spot as you just look for posts that look as though they've come from a not very bright 10 year old ...

Shit, that describes at least a dozen or more asshats here in .action! <BFG>

Dude you need to STFU and go back to playing with your Playdough. Shawk has been around for a very long time. And how long have you been posting on this group? Christ Usenet is dying and we still have SOB's like you calling people trolls. This group used to get 250 or more posts a DAY. Now if we get 10 we're having a good day.
> Stop double-post. It came through the first time.
OMG Shawk made a mistake and we have a Usenet cop come out of the woodwork. What are you going to say, he's wasting precious bandwidth! Go bust some old lady for Jaywalking. That will make you feel like a big man.

Some of us have been on Usenet since the dawn on man when one payed per minute charges to access it. There is no reason to act recklessly just because you no longer are. Besides, after deducting what's used up by the U-, the me- and the XXX-tubes, there is precious little bandwidth left for important things like bickering on Usenet. Stop it or i'll have you removed from Internet.

He! I was speculating that, because of the content, it was done on purpose.
Addendum #2) Arguments back and forth over who has a right to post complaints depending on if they are regulars in the group or not, and how long the various parties have been on Usenet.

Yea, I heard within 2 years the entire original internet bandwidth will be used up. Replacing it will require two strong men, and and it costs nearly $40 for the new band from Home Depot.
I don't want that on my conscience, so you won't be hearing any bullshit from me.

The 'j' in jaywalking is not capitalized unless it is the beginning of a sentence, moron.

Man you are bring up some old ,old memories from the good old days when Usenet was for the cool kids at collage, and there was always some guys that thought that they had to enforce the rules because they where such super nerds. I remember when AOL and Web TV users started posting. We all thought it was the end of Usenet. We had no idea at the time a little known program called "Mosaic" which could be used to look at the "World Wide Web", would someday doom Usenet. Now Usenet is but but a faint shadow of what it once was. JLC
