I see that the dimwit troll, Dan C/Sam (ad infinitum) is following
me around again, farting on the Usenet for someone else to smell.

Nothing he ever posts is read by me, nor any responses to it.

What he posts never has any effect on me at all other than
eliciting an explanatory post like this every once in a while.

But he just isn't bright enough to comprehend these simple facts.

And I guess he just doesn't know how to do anything else but pretend
that he is a dangerous virtual terrorist striking fear into the
hearts of his victims.

<snicker>

Can you say "loser", boys and girls?

Note that he has posted thousands of such articles, under scores
of aliases. To and supposedly about me.

I don't have any control over his behavior.

If I did, I would make him take his medications.
