That is Allan's other personality. There is no Realto Margarino, just
one Allan split into two parts, the one is a bit pretentious and
supercilious, and the other tries to keep "him"(self) honest. Otherwise
how would he know where he lived?

Bad divorces can do that.

Realto Margarino has repressed sexual desire for my body and is hurt
that I spurn his advances. Sorry, rm, I just don't swing that way.

Just kill-file the troll and be done with it.

Thanks for the explanation. This evil-twin theory accounts for a lot of
what I've seen on this newsgroup.

I just hope that he/they can get the help that he/they need(s).

WTF?

You don't actually believe that BS, do you? While it could in theory
be true, it relies on way too many assumptions. How would I, for
example, be posting from my static IP address at my "home" where I run
various services where you can glean information about me, and at the
same time be posting from a Canadian IP address? This would require me
to have compromised one or both of the machines for extended periods of
time without getting caught or having an admin turn one of the boxen
off. Moreover, this "RM" fella has posted at times that it was quite
simply impossible for me to have posted to usenet, such as the time I
was gone to the Carribean for a solid week and had no access to a
computer.

> I just hope that he/they can get the help that he/they need(s).


Wrong he/they. Check headers for this E. Charters and rm and you'll note
both are synpatico.ca customers, and are much more likely to be the
same person than me and rm.[0] If you want verification of this, just try
to lookup that address he claims is mine. Doesn't exist. Call the phone
number. They've never heard of me. Ask the people here who've mailed me
things; it's not the right address.

Noob, next time some one tells you something, ask yourself if that
agrees with evidence you've seen. If you think me and rm are the same
person, you've got bigger issues than any problems you may be having
with Slackware.

[0] Note that I don't think they are the same person. I just think
they're both Canucks. What is it about Canada that makes all their
really fucked up people troll usenet? Not everyone in Canada is as
messed up as these two individuals (as example, alphageek in #slackware
on irc.oftc.net is a sympatico.ca customer and Theo de Raadt are
shining examples of good Canadians online). These two just give all
Canadians a bad rap.

The same thing that _keeps_ them from buying a gun and going to
work/school/Washington and shoot a dozen or two of innocents.
Maybe usenet should be more popular among the US' lunatics.

A dozen or two? Naw, most of the nuts are pretty bad shots. Except for
those kids in Columbine. Other than that I don't think the the guys who
go postal generally end up hitting any more than a few people per incident.

Unfortunatly, that's not true. Canada has its share of incidents where
someone buys a legal gun and goes on a killing spree.

Nope. Not a bit of it. It was just a bit of comic relief from the
sort of ragging that RM usually does, and that his feeders are partly
guilty of, as well.

I will say, though, that the idea had never occurred to me of a troll and
his target being one and the same person. It's a fascinating theory. But I
don't think anybody believes you and RM are the same, so don't worry.
