No it hasn't to do with the heat or cold. I really don't know what
controls those trolls. Maybe their brains is more liquid than ours so
they are affected by things like spring tide and so.

I think it is more of a pathetic life with nothing better to do.

Hmmm. Up to now there are 23 replies here. Lots of pathetic lives out there.

BTW, where is 'ken'? Not seen his sheet and hood around here for several
weeks. School is out. I figured he'd be hangin' out here. Maybe he found a
girlfriend. We haven't heard from Melissa lately either. Hmmmm.
:-)

"Ours?" There is no "ours", for you, apart from all the other
trolls. You don't speak for anyone but your own lonesome self,
sweetie.

"Troll" season seem to come around more around January and February at the
time of snow storms and real cold arctic weather. That is when more real
people would be staying inside and might check this newsgroup after having
gotten tired of watching movies or performing other fun activities.

Linux users (I am one), believe it or not, are in a minority and somehow
have some cult like characteristics. Slackware users (I am one) are much
more hard core Linux users and exhibit much more radical cult like
characteristics.

It is a Operating system for god's sake. Albeit It is much much better than
other OSes but There are other important things in life. Real People use
their computer for getting their work done. a good number of regulars in
this newsgroup are here to annoy to death anyone who dares to disagree with
them.

well for me it is over 100 degrees hot stormy outside and I am staying cool
inside tonite and end up here in on this ng.

Sure. I can imagine a troll posting a stupid subject like that.

Trolls are dishonest cowards who hide their true posting
histories by using multiple psuedo-identities and/or the
"X-No-Archive: yes" header (most common tactics).

I am not surprised at all to see that this thread is populated
almost exclusively by trolls.

(Fewer than there seems to be, of course...)

I haven't read it. Fumigating my newsreader is a real pain.

Note: I will not be downloading any articles on this thread.

Hey, the crazy guy is still here! ANC, GP, rm - all pure trolls - but
you are just loony tunes (OK, ANC and GP have some overly inflated
egos - but I don't think they are really crazy - just pathetic).

I was kinda hoping you would have gone off you meds long enough to
have blown your brains out by now.

Come come - ANC is a Usenet bug (the kind that lives under a stone) but
Connor is a feature!

An obvious geek and Usenet pro who is adept at editing headers
and using leafnode:

That's a header added by leafnode (a local, caching newsserver),
beloved by trolls because it makes it easy to have accounts on
many different NSPs. There is no such domain:

$ host glynthebearded.millingtons.org
glynthebearded.millingtons.org does not exist, try again

And he expects us to believe that he only posted 144 times
in the last year.

No identifiers usable by anyone but the admins at individual.net.
That's why trolls love it.

Unfortunately, they have to take it easy, because IN does take
abuse complaints seriously.

Trolls have a reputation for being dishonest cowards.

Which is the reputation they merit.

That's to make this sockpuppet look different from his others.

<article not downloaded:
http://slrn.sourceforge.net/docs/README.offline>

Haven't seen this sockpuppet around in a while.

This troll never gives up: Just keeps banging his head against
the steel plating on my shields.

Fine by me. He's been kissing my butt for years, and he can
do it for the rest of his life if he wants.

Keeps it nice and clean.

That "kook" website he put up has never harmed me (I've never
even looked at it -- I don't read trolldung). All the psuedo-spam
he sends to me is silently dumped by my mailfilter, and he can't
get an article in my newsreader with a score of sockpuppets.

And almost no one reads anything he posts under any of those
aliases but dipschitt trolls.

Not exactly a threat.

He'll be over on news.software.readers soon enough.

Dipschitt trolls are _so_ predictable.

That's why I effortlessly stomp their fat butts on a regular
basis.

Note: I will not be downloading any articles on this thread.

Yaaay!!! The boy is back, and on sparkling form too. Alan, its good to
hear from you again.

You've been away a long time. What's been the problem, or was it an
extended holiday? And how are you getting on with the medication - you
ARE taking it aren't you?


Come on, give us all your news - eager minds want to know :-)

Love and hugs
