Professionals typically don't post using their work email addresses,
Ian. You'd know this is you had even a single clue in your
possession.

Hint: I don't work for Google, but my email address I give when
posting is through GMail.

olitics and military matters. No interest whatsoever in biochemistry.

What 'profile' would that be, Ian? What does mine say? Where are you
looking?

Clearly not, since Deirdre is a biologist.

Of course you did, but then you come to all sorts of moronic

How's that again? I'm not posting using my work email address either.
Is such a simple concept so totally beyond your limited intellect?

You know about slander laws, right, Ian?

Uh, you obviously don't know what 'Googled' means (either). Got
nothing to do with identity theft.

Have you ever known any women, Ian? It doesn't sound like it.

What a preposterous assertion!

And apparently you don't know the first thing about the subject. I'm
revising my estimate of your mental age downward by quite a bit at
this point. Something pre-Junior High School, I think.

You have a point here somewhere?

Uh, no, you aren't.

The first thing they should do is get the lunatics and mental
defectives off Usenet. That's you, Ian.

Hint: Google doesn't own Usenet and lots of us don't post through it.

Hint: There is no authority to take "firm action" against someone,
other than the ISP they post through. Should we contact BT in London
about you?
