Are all of those yours, or did you steal someone's alias?

Either way, I don't see many posts on Linux groups.

Looks like you don't know anything about Linux.

And that your problems are your fault.

Maybe. Maybe you just copied that from someone else's
headers.

It looks remarkably like your Windows User-Agent header
too (see copied headers below).

Your only other post on any linux group was here and you were
using a completely different newsserver and Windows.

TROLL.

I don't help trolls.

And I don't think you could run Linux if your life depended on
it.

You'd actually have to take a break from running your mouth on
hundreds of groups under dozens of aliases to do some homework.

Phuk off (again).

Done.

Note: I won't be downloading any articles on this thread.

alan connor FAQ

Who is Alan Connor?

Alan Connor is the inventor and implementor of the final ultimate
solution to the spam problem, and everyone who dares claim otherwise
is a spammer.
That is basically the gist of the messages Alan sometimes spews into NANAE.

Alan Connor is appearently also active on many other newsgroups.


So what is he raving about?

In reality, Alan's system is known as a challenge-response or C/R system;
it auto-answers incoming email with a challenge and only lets the email
through if it receives a valid response. There are several problems with
this concept, but Alan doesn't want to hear them. In addition,
Alan's system isn't even a very good implementation of the C/R concept,
as it fails to address the chicken-egg problem that is inherent to C/R:
What if your C/R system sends a challenge to an email address that is
also protected by a C/R system? Because of this, Alan and Timo Salmi,
another C/R advocate, are unable to email eachother. So basically Alan's
system is a broken implementation of a flawed concept.

So. You post using three different newsservers, which no one who
posts under the same alias all the time does.

And are attacking Linux in your original subject:
Subject: and i thought windows made a mess of files...
Click to expand...

With the typical display of non-literacy of a troll: No caps
where caps belong.

Your User-Agent string in your headers reads Windows, until
this thread, where it is modified only to say Linux instead of
Windows, but otherwise the same newsreader.

And there are virtually no Linux groups in your posting history
for the last year.

You are a stinking troll and you will wear a gag when you are
in my newsreader. Nor will anyone be allowed to send replies to
yourarticles to my newsreader.

Regardless of which alias you are hiding behind at the moment,
with your tail between your legs where your balls should be.

No way I am going to help a stinking troll learn Linux.

If you are even trying to, that is...

Wow, you need some help. I post at work on one server, and then also at
home on another (and sometimes two), on both Windows and Linux, which I
just installed last Saturday and am currently exploring for the first time.

If that isn't enough to convince you, then *you* are the troll.

Mr. Connor,

I applaud your efforts to nail down anonymous trolls, and please feel
free to continue labelling me as one of them if you insist, but my full
name and location are in the usenet archives. My posts are almost
exclusively confined to alt.atheism and alt.politics.homosexuality (and
cross-posts initiated by others), and all of my nicks contain the word
"Bretts", which is a derivative of my real first name "Brett". Further,
I'm willing to meet in real life anyone here who wants to meet me and
I've already offered to do so several times. If you'd like to meet me,
just drop me an email and we can make arrangements.

(That said, I have occassionally trolled as a stupid obnoxious
christian cretin, but mostly just for the purpose of parodying
loud-mouthed fundies, whom I find to be a mostly contemptible bunch.)

Bretts
Gospel Bretts
Bretts Christ
Bretts the Baptist
Believe in Bretts
etc. etc.
