Alan, I have no problem with what you post - it's the flotsam and jetsam
that comes after that bothers me and others, though of course, you have
absolutely no control over that, and I think that's what's irritating
folks, rather than what you actually post.
But, in all seriousness...
If you start referring to yourself in the third person or first person
plural, you need look no further than net loon legends such as Barbara
Amero (god help me "she who must not be named") to realize such
references will get you consigned to a similar trash bin pretty fast.
No offence intended. I, for one, can relate in no small way to some of
the niggling stupidity to which you refer to in your posts.

Also, I might add, cross posting a post with a title such as this one to
totally unrelated groups is another characteristic of the infamous
she-who-must-not-be-named, Fabrikant, and others.

And I realize nf.general is starting to blink and question my sanity
(those who have not already realized it's long gone) with my responding
to my own posts, but:
What about multi-posting instead of cross-posting? That sure would help
keep some of the nastiness confined to the newsgroups in which they
slosh at the bottom of their barrels.

For the love of God, did you have to write her name? SWMNBN would have
sufficed. You might be attracting her.

You're right, sorry.... I swear, she must google herself all the time.
Pray to the gods she misses this...
