1 Hail Eris! Classic Tholenator tholed:

1 You know perfectly well, Classic Tholenator , who
1 "Classic Tholenator" is. You may not accept the nom de guerre, but it
1 is most assuredly yours. groups line game thwarted

1 Many years of scorn being heaped upon him (you), without apparently
1 noticing. You may be a genius in astronomy, but understanding usenet
1 culture is entirely beyond you.

1 DYOFHW.

1 Your questions are irrelevant, Classic Tholenator
1 , and therefore so are any answers which you may
1 receive. Your entire posting style is designed to prove to one "Penso",
1 whomever that may be, who the "disruptors" of your favourite newsgroups
1 are, not engage anyone in debate on matters not directly germane to and
1 on-topic for those newsgroups. Since that displays a net.KKKop's
1 attitude, you are here to (attempt to) quell (and log) what you
1 consider to be a disruption, not to be just another poster to usenet --
1 not you, the noted astronomer and acknowledged genius, Dr. David J.
1 Tholen! Take your questions and your fascism and shove them up your
1 colon.

1 Ibid.

1 On your part, Classic Tholenator .

1 Hey, it's English. You want logical, use mathematical notation only. Of
1 course, Sharon B. will then have to kill you, but I consider that a
1 plus.

1 Liar. You have not been the target of a vendetta. You are a k00k, and
1 have been recognised as a k00k. Never mind Art Bell or one debunked UFO
1 claim -- you're a k00k because you think an entire newsgroup could be
1 organised against you. Here's a clue: We're not organised. Not even a
1 little bit. In fact, we're so disorganised that our Friendly
1 Neighbourhood Vote Wrangler hasn't changed the nominations page on the
1 AUK FAQ site in over a month, and no one has any clear idea who the
1 July nominees are or when the voting will begin for that month. So
1 you're a _paranoid_ k00k (which is still perfectly normal as k00ks go,
1 mind), as well as a monumental failure as a net.KKKop.

1 A gender-free pronoun, Classic Tholenator .

1 Ibid.

1 You strike me as another who tends to disparage such posters, Classic
1 Tholenator .

1 Indeed, more than a few k00ks post to AUK -- generally, after they
1 realise that they can't escape their fate anyway. However, kookologists
1 and k00k-hunters make up the majority (the difference between them
1 being that the hunters seek out new k00ks in various other groups,
1 while kookologists are usually too busy with the ones the hunters have
1 already brought in), though some k00k-hunters are themselves k00ks. The
1 current AUK FAQ's search engine, Kookle
1 many of the kookologists, past and present.

1 Oh, now you pretend ignorance, do you? A simple search on "David
1 Tholen" came up with, among many other sites, one that "revealed" how
1 AUK mobilised against you to make you look bad, in revenge for your bit
1 of debunking.

1 Say, were you claiming here that you are *not*, in fact, Dr. David J.
1 Tholen? As in, really not?

1 Question asked and answered multiple times, Classic Tholenator
1 , whether you accept the answer or not.

1 Ibid.

1 Classic denial of reality.

1 Ibid.

1 Ahhh, but I haven't been doing it to cooa for any long period of time,
1 have I? Meanwhile, the greater portion of the group's regs ****ed off
1 to private lists months ago, long before I started posting to AUK
1 again, and Penso hasn't been heard from (not in his "Marcello Penso"
1 WorldNet.ATT ID -- you know, the guy who irked you so much you began
1 your Holy Digestor to *prove* to him who the disruptors are) since the
1 end of 2004. There's no one left who cares, Classic Tholenator
1 . No one, really, but you, Don "Tholen" Quixote,
1 tilting at a windmill.

1 Now why would I even consider implying something as loony as that? No,
1 M$ choosing to discontinue support for OS/2 as of the end of the year
1 is simply one of the major factors involved in killing cooa as an OS/2
1 discussion group, since it became clear to everyone (else besides
1 yourself, at any rate) that the group wouldn't ever be getting many new
1 members who are new users of OS/2. A trickle isn't enough to keep an
1 unmoderated group going indefinitely.

1 Que? Are you implying that it _will_ have official support next year?
1 'Cause, otherwise, I'd have to say: Auto-response noted and dismissed.

1 No, I'm expecting you to have to rely only on yourself and other users
1 for help, if your OS/2-running drives suddenly stop working. Calling M$
1 won't be of any use.

1 LOL! Auto-response noted and dis-MISSED!

1 Fanvids don't count. Videos & DVDs of the original series don't count.
1 The TV-movie /especially/ doesn't count. The books and audios were the
1 only things keeping it going for anyone without a net.connection, until
1 late 2004, when the show suddenly arose from the TV graveyard. See that
1 quoted line below?

1 Because cooa isn't really an OS/2 newsgroup anymore. It just has the
1 name. You still have rec.music.classical. Be content with that.
1 Classical music won't stop getting made, unlike OS/2...

1 It doesn't matter what my remark had to do with OS/2, because cooa
1 doesn't have much to do with OS/2, so it doesn't matter if it fills up
1 with off-topic posts anymore, particularly since OS/2 is going to be
1 just another marginal OS with only a (relatively) small number of users
1 worldwide. Your OS/2 group is toast. Deal.

1 Not at all. The group is no longer an OS/2 newsgroup in anything but
1 name.

1 I have no need to answer an irrelevant question unless I feel like it,
1 Classic Tholenator .

1 You aren't getting that your questions are irrelevant, along with your
1 group and your OS/2, hence no need to answer unless I please, in
1 whatever manner I please.

1 Classic dodge of a relevant question. No one cares besides you
1 yourself, Classic Tholenator .

1 I have every right to pontificate, being a pontiff. If you object to
1 that on the grounds of sacrilege or disrespect for Xianity, I can only
1 reply that those things are holy to me (sacrilege and disrespect for
1 Xianity, that is). Mind you, on that point, at least, I'd expect some
1 sanity from you.

1 ROFL!!!! Now you're /severely/ delusional. Check my posting history in
1 your group from January to June. Also in most of last year (try "The
1 Secretary of HomIntern"), and especially the year before that. I have
1 not been the major disruptive force in cooa.

1 You treat cooa as your personal property, hence I deride you for it. No
1 one "owns" a usenet group, with the possible exception of the moderated
1 groups.

1 La guerre!

1 NOTHING! What does your irrelevant question have to do with MEOW,
1 Classic Tholenator ?

1 Well, don't worry, I'll get it legally changed, eventually, Classic
1 Tholenator .

1 Oh, brother, are you ever a piece of work.

1 taptaptap Is this thing on? Hello? Damn thing's on the fritz, I
1 think. Hey, I think we need Cujo in here! The Tholenator seems to be
1 broken.

1 Idiot Tholenator .

1 No, I think you're the Rationaliser, here, Classic Tholenator
1 .

1 Classic spurious denial.

1 Classic spurious claim of ignorance.

1 Classic spurious denial.

1 Classic invective, as expected from someone who lacks a logical
1 argument.

1 Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

1 Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim, laced with invective, as
1 expected from someone who lacks a logical argument.

1 You don't act like it.

1 Classic erroneous presupposition.

1 I think I have a .sigquote here, for anyone who wants it!

1 But "Classic Tholenator " fits you to a tee!

1 Liar.

1 Classic evasion of the point.

1 Irrelevant.

1 Which is also known as "net.KKKopping", because it's none of your damn
1 business. I'll post where I like, and you can go impale yourself, if
1 you disapprove. I don't have to explain myself to you or to anyone.

1 Liar.

1 On this point, I feel free to consider myself an authority, if only
1 because no one, but no one, has spoken up in defence of your quest to
1 prove to Penso (or anyone) just exactly whom the disruptors are. Not
1 this summer.

1 No. You have wasted years of your life on your digests.

1 No, it was all for naught.

1 See above.

1 Ibid.

1 Bull****. Your OS/2 group is dead as a forum for OS/2 discussion, and
1 it will stay that way for as long as you are there, of that you may be
1 certain. The former regulars are sick to death of you, and want no more
1 of your digests or your proof.

1 Well, what say you? Is it worth it?

1 Non sequitur.

1 The question is irrelevant; the attribution, fitting.

1 On your part, Classic Tholenator .

1 Butt out.

1 The ng comp.os.os2.advocacy is MEOW territory. Butt out.

4 Liar.

4 Classic Tholenator knows perfectly well who
4 "Classic Tholenator" is, and doesn't need to ask again, nor will he be

4 Then what attribution line were you under the impression was intended
4 to be read, Classic Tholenator ? Peter J. Ross'?

4 Guvax ur'yy rire fgbc nfxvat?

4 No, it most certainly is your attribution line, because that's the way
4 I altered it, so as to better reflect whom you really are.

4 may, after all, turn out to have nothing to do with Classic Tholenator

4 for the astronomer, even). Anything is possible, after all.

4 The Demon of Mockery

5 Newsgroups: ne.weather,soc.men,comp.os.os2.advocacy,alt.fan.ar t-bell,alt.usenet.kooks

5 FIVE TONNES OF FLAX!

5 EVERYTHING! She is the force behind the failure of OS/2 as an OS, you
5 see.

5 The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune? Hmmm. Nah, just the
5 mockery and ridicule of a positively silly number of usenetters, for
5 incessant net.KKKopping and question-dodging over a long period of
5 time.

5 Re-naming an attribution to better suit reality isn't "erroneous", it's
5 merely disrespectful to the one being so re-named, Classic Tholenator.
5 Since you are, as I noted, a notorious net.k00k, net.KKKop, coward (for
5 dodging questions put to you), and intellectual fraud, showing an ounce
5 of respect to you would itself be k00ky.

5 Not when I've used it for more than fifteen years, it isn't, Cowardly
5 Tholok00k. It's been my primary usenet SN for more than five years,
5 too. BTW, if you're going to insist on your email handle being used in
5 addressing you, I must insist on my full screenname, including all
5 acronyms, being used when addressing me. It's only fair, you know.

5 I thought you could read, Classic Tholenator, or are you telling me
5 your attribution remains " even after I change it?
5 Incidentally, I should introduce you to the Yadallee, come to think of
5 it -- the two of you could bounce your one-liners off each other for
5 ages...Obsessos, the both of you. Both named Dave, too.

5 Check the attribution at the top to see who "Classic Tholenator" is...

5 No, really, it is.

5 On your part, Cowardly Tholok00k.

5 Are you absolutely sure you're not a bot?

5 It's an all-purpose attribution for k00ks everywhere on usenet, K00k.

5 Still refusing to face reality, Classic Tholenator?

5 Classic Tholenator is, as mentioned, , with a
5 minor alteration to the name.

5 Only as much as you yourself have to do with anything, Classic
5 Tholenator. OS/2 doesn't have much to do with COOA, after all.

5 Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

5 Cowardly Tholok00k is, as mentioned, , with a
5 minor alteration to the name.

5 It isn't an alias, Classic Tholenator, it's a nickname bestowed upon
5 you by various usenetters, in honour of the bot created in your name.

5 As I pointed out, it's easy enough to find out the alleged "real" name
5 associated with this nick, but as with everyone on the net, it is
5 impossible to prove that it's "mine", and not someone else's entirely.
5 As I know for a fact that another person has (or had) the same exact
5 name (including the middle) as I (though it's still fairly
5 distinctive), as of ten years or so ago, it would therefore be
5 ultimately useless (not to mention potentially dangerous) for me to
5 attempt to claim it as "mine" without giving out more personal details
5 than I would care to reveal in a public forum, and more than would be
5 at all prudent.

5 There are only two, "Classic Tholenator" and "Cowardly Tholok00k", so
5 wherefore "unsubstantiated and erroneous claim"?

5 "Classic Tholenator" is the one, the only (perish forbid there should
5 ever be another) , of course, Cowardly Tholok00k!

5 What does your question have to do with weather forecasting, Classic
5 Tholenator?

5 Ahhhhh, so you _do_ know, and you're just being deliberately obtuse, is
5 that it, Cowardly Tholok00k? 'Cause that's a pretty cowardly thing to
5 do for so long, you know.

5 Just because you don't use a .sig at all does not mean no one else is
5 allowed to do so, without being questioned about its topicality or lack
5 thereof, Classic Tholenator.

5 I'm not telling you again, Classic Tholenator.

5 Well, obviously, no one ever would, would they, Cowardly Tholok00k?

5 My explanation for that is above, Classic Tholenator.

5 Classic erroneous presupposition, Cowardly Tholok00k.

5 Are you implying that what I describe as my attitude towards net.KKKops
5 is not actually my attitude at all, Classic Tholenator? Because, if so,
5 that's classic erroneous mind-reading, that is.

5 Not at all, Classic Tholenator.

5 I'll not tell you again.

5 Ahhh, but are you really sure that "George Bush" is in fact "George
5 Bush", and not actually an alien being inhabiting the shell of what
5 used to be George Bush? I wouldn't be too sure of myself, on this
5 point.

5 Classic dodge.

5 Another classic dodge on your part.

5 See above. Way, waayyyy above.

5 Are you not posting in an OS/2 group? If so, then that is why I am
5 posting there. Mind you, since I'm not subscribed there, I don't post
5 directly to it alone.

5 Ibid.

5 Non sequitur. What I feel is relevant to why I bother posting, not to
5 whether others feel I am being abusive.

5 Oh, really? So I should take into account whether others feel I should
5 or should not post, Cowardly Tholok00k? I don't think so.

5 Ibid.

5 I have never seen a post from which was on-topic
5 anywhere besides alt.usenet.kooks, where k00ks such as you are always
5 topical, regardless of what you post.

5 Ibid.

5 No. You edit the groups line to exclude the group where you are most
5 laughed at (forgetting, all the time, that AFA-B has its own kook
5 awards), which just happens to be the only group in said line to which
5 I am actually subscribed, thus indicating that you are trying to have
5 the last word in a manner which makes your kookologists look stupid,
5 cowardly, and ineffectual, but which only makes you look that way every
5 time anyone makes another reply. Your OS/2 group is irrelevant and
5 growing ever more so, and what is on-topic there is destined to become
5 a footnote in the history of computer operating systems. A forgotten
5 footnote.

5 The reason why that isn't cowardice at all has already been explained.

5 Ibid.

5 That still doesn't change the fact that finding out my legalname is a
5 matter of a few clicks, Classic Tholenator.

5 Ibid.

5 By looking at your profile and seeing that rec.music.classical,
5 comp.os.os2.advocacy (a dead group if there ever was one -- maybe a
5 dozen or so posts a month that are not x-posts at all), sci.astro, and
5 rec.sport.basketball.college are by far your main groups, with
5 sci.astro.amateur and alt.alien.visitors running fifth and sixth
5 places, while you have 93 posts to AUK since Dec. 1999. This, of
5 course, leaves out your posting history prior to that time, but we
5 don't need to know about that. Hence, my point is proven, and you are
5 hereby retufted. WHOMP!

5 What, pray tell, O Illustrious And Wise Logician, is "illogical" about
5 my reasoning? I don't post to OS/2 advocacy groups, for the obvious
5 reason that I have never used OS/2, have no interest in learning how to
5 use OS/2, and don't care to discuss OS/2 or any nearly-obsolete
5 operating systems, so clearly, I would not be at all likely to suddenly
5 start reading an OS/2 advocacy group, particularly not one largely
5 claimed (mainly due to you, Classic Tholenator) by Teh Empire of Meow
5 anyway (All Hail Fluffy!!! (For he hace much grateness!)), due to the
5 fact that I read other meow groups. OTOH, you are posting to cooa, you
5 are one focus for AUK, given that you are a net.kook, and so, to
5 maintain this thread, off-topic x-posting must necessarily occur. You
5 see? Life is hard, you can't get to heaven on rollerskates, and you
5 can't catch a taxicab to Timbuktu, but all you have to worry about is
5 off-topic posting to usenet.

5 ....Well, okay, but I did already mention that the .mod groups were
5 excepted, didn't I? So, *barring moderated groups*, all your cowardly
5 (and pathetic) attempts to hide are ultimately doomed.

5 Ibid.

5 What does your question have to do with weather (or weather
5 forecasting), Classic Tholenator?

5 So, are you saying that it's illogical for me to add comments,
5 parenthetical or otherwise, to my .sig? 'Cause I don't do it for
5 "logical" reasons, I do it because I'm a smartass.

5 Ibid.

5 No, I did substantiate it, actually, but you don't bother actually
5 reading posts for substance anymore, I think.

5 Why is it "cowardly" not to use a "real" name, Classic Tholenator? I
5 think it's *pointless*, since you cannot prove you are the person you
5 claim to be (only that you are the same person who claimed to be that
5 person using another email address, and sometimes, not even then),
5 which is the whole point of this kind of forum: Anonymity. At any rate,
5 as I said, my allegedly "real" name is easy enough to find out, as long
5 as you're not clinically comatose or brain dead.

5 What does your doubt have to do with weather forecasting, Classic
5 Tholenator?

5 Your nickname was given to you by kookologists, Classic Tholenator.
5 Rejecting it as your nickname does not make it any less your nickname,
5 it only makes you kookier, since you haven't changed the aspects of
5 yourself which earned you the nickname. Note: You don't *have* to
5 change one iota, and we don't have to stop calling you "Classic
5 Tholenator", either.

5 Ibid.

5 Not much, but then again, how much does comp.os.os2.advocacy have to do
5 with OS/2?

5 PPOR.

5 Ibid.

5 No, it's been thoroughly substantiated -- you just snipped it. Coward.

5 ROTFLMAOUIPMPAD!!! Oh, _that_ was classic.

5 No, _you yourself_ have substantiated it, over the past decade or so.

5 Well, unless you're *that* good at hiding from yourself, anyway.

5 Ibid.

5 I don't know, and I don't care, Classic Tholenator.

5 On the basis that "Classic Tholenator" and "Cowardly Tholok00k" were
5 bestowed upon _you_, Classic Tholenator , by
5 others, partly due to your extreme paranoia that Someone Was Out To Get
5 You On Usenet (it turned out to be you, AAMOF), and the rest because
5 you apparently think usenet has Rules (only in a general sense, and
5 more along the lines of observed phenomena, such as Godwin's Law), or
5 something.

5 Ibid.

5 Oh, I gave you too much credit? Fine. You have absolutely no capacity
5 for humour whatsoever.

5 Ibid.

5 No, unfortunately not. You have no talent for or understanding of
5 humour whatsoever, beyond irony, and I very much doubt you've ever
5 experienced a belly laugh in your entire life.

5 I think not. Your history of making posts exactly like the one to which
5 I am now replying is proof enough of that, all by itself.

5 Auto-response noted.

5 Oh, MY disruptive behaviour, is it? How many posts did you see from me
5 between January and late July, hmmmmmm? Besides, I am a disruption, in
5 any case. Hail Eris!

5 You're the fool, if you honestly believe that, Classic Tholenator. Wake
5 up and take stock of your OS/2 advocacy group. How many recent threads
5 are there which are not being cross-posted, at least some of the time?
5 How many threads don't have "Michael Baldwin, Bruce" in them? Or Raving
5 Loonie? Or any other notorious kooks, or any kookologists? Your OS/2 ng
5 has been _claimed_. We *own* it. It is now a part of Teh Empire of Meow
5 (All Hail Fluffy!), and any non-x-posted threads may become x-posted at
5 any time. It's all because of you, too. You insisted on posting there,
5 insisted on net.kopping ("What does that have to do with OS/2,
5 Snarky?", "Classic erroneous presupposition.", etc., on and on, endless
5 questions which erroneously presupposed, on your part, an inherent
5 right to be answered in a substantive form, and to only see posts which
5 were on-topic), insisted on continuing to post such drivel long after
5 you were asked to stop by the regulars, and even long after most of
5 said regulars gave up and quit posting to or reading the group, you
5 kept at it, until now you have a group which is almost 100% (if not
5 actually 100%) off-topic. ironic Good job!

5 "Fake"? No. A "fake" name would be one that I don't use offline. My
5 offline persona is quite often this flamboyant, too. My life includes
5 things like volunteering at CFRO Co-op Radio, Vancouver 102.7FM (online
5 Vancouver Dyke March on Saturday, going to movies (just saw "The
5 Descent", which is more than likely not the kind of horror movie which
5 would affect *you*, but which I found to be highly effective), reading
5 to my nephew, doing Sudoku puzzles, playing Final Fantasy (X, of late),
5 RuneScape, and Kingdom of Loathing (both online -- one java-based, one
5 html-based), and looking on craigslist for a new place to live.

5 Oh, you realise that you're a k00k, then? Very good. pats Wee Davey
5 Tholen on the head

5 Ah, I really don't think so. Your bad name is out there, now and for

5 Really? Since July of last year, I've made 255 posts prior to this one,
5 using this posting addy. You made more posts than that last /month/...

5 Sez you.

5 My online reputation is easily found out (along with my legalname) by
5 anyone who knows me as "Snarky" -- which is most of the people who know
5 me -- while yours is even more firmly attached to your offline rep.
5 Indeed, quite a few online _do_ know my legalname. I would imagine that
5 some of the ones in this thread are among them, in fact.

5 Ooooh, that's _just_ the reaction I've been waiting for. Classic
5 invective, as is usual from someone with no logical argument.

5 uproarious laughter So, I take it you're retired, then. Alright, _two
5 thirds_ of your life consists of being mocked, kicked around, and
5 taunted, in that case.

5 Again, not at all. What do you think I was doing three weeks ago?
5 [Hint: Usenet wasn't part of it.]

5 Sez you.

5 No, it's a .sig, silly. Like this one below.

6 Well, you know, M$ is discontinuing support for it as of the end of

7 Version 2 of M$'s original operating system, minus Windoze (I think),
7 now on the verge of having all support discontinued as of the year's
7 end. Classic Tholenator seems to consider it his favourite -- at the
7 very least, he's made another career out of finding out why people are
7 posting/x-posting to his OS/2 advocacy group (which he claims he
7 doesn't really consider "his", but he's a very bad liar).

7 looks up Mabbett on Wikipedia More or less. In this case: Noted
7 astronomer, most relevantly known for debunking a UFO claim on Art
7 Bell's radio show; thereafter has become infamous for his paranoia that
7 UFOlogists (or something -- UFO hoaxers, maybe) disguised as
7 kookologists are out to get him (yes, as a bloc); has also become quite
7 the net.KKKop/k00k/coward, as well as an intellectual fraud, since his
7 O/2 advocacy group has been claimed by Teh Empire (while the group's
7 original regs have taken off to various private lists), and therefore
7 his net.KKKopping of it is doomed to futility. A very silly man.

9 Hail Eris! Classic Tholenator tholed:

9 DYOFHW.

9 I've told you multiple times, and you have tholed me multiple times in
9 reply. Be aware, you are the source of a new meaning of the verb "to
9 thole", though it is only applicable online.

9 Your post, numbnuts.

9 Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim.

9 Classic spurious denial.

9 What would be the point of answering the question, since you are out to
9 prove that all x-posters to your OS/2 advocacy group are evil, lying,
9 cowardly scum, out to disrupt your newsgroup and discredit you because
9 they hate you for the Art Bell Show incident?

9 Classic spurious denial of net.KKKopping. You've been doing it for
9 _over_ a decade with thanks to Art Deco for the correction, and you
9 don't seem likely to stop before you simply *stop*, period.

9 Liar.

9 Your insistence on net.KKKopping makes it transparent.

9 Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous k'lame, laced with invective, as
9 can be expected from someone who lacks a logical argument.

9 Because M$ is discontinuing support for it as of the end of the year.

9 Auto-response noted and dismissed.

9 I have said nothing incorrect or untruthful in the referenced
9 paragraph. OS/2 is losing support from M$ by the end of the year, and
9 you and your fellow users of that OS will have to support one another
9 from then on. Hell, isn't it?

9 You didn't like the answer I gave. Too bad. You don't get another.

9 The English language, spoken and written, is illogical, period. Deal
9 with it, commit suicide, whatever.

9 I gave you an example just below. If you don't like it, try your
9 dictionary, or any online dictionary.

9 Nothing. Hell, isn't it?

9 Another classic spurious denial.

9 Classic spurious denial that Classic Tholenator is
9 . The usenet you want -- where no one can ever
9 post off-topic -- is not the usenet you can ever have, unless your
9 country goes completely fascist. Hell, isn't it?

9 Classic spurious denial. You don't put more than a decade of effort
9 into net.KKKopping on behalf of a group towards which you don't feel
9 inherently protective, and your love for OS/2 is obvious.

9 More classic spurious denial noted and dismissed.

9 Further classic spurious denial. The reality of OS/2 fading into the
9 background, once and for all.

9 The classic spurious denial never ends. Your unwillingness to face this
9 dark reality is bleeding obvious.

9 Under ten new users per month, quite possibly per year -- you don't
9 discontinue support for a product that has lots of new users all the
9 time.

9 My "presuppositions" most certainly are correct. Hell, isn't it?

9 Classic auto-response noted and dismissed.

9 Another classic auto-response.

9 Classic spurious denial.

9 Follow the line of thought, and forget about your obsession with
9 topicality.

9 As I said, follow the line of thought, and forget topicality. Go make a
9 private list for OS/2 users, if you can find anyone who'll join, Dr.
9 Obsesso.

9 Because.

9 Classic spurious denial.

9 Acquaint yourself with usenet slang. I'm not your teacher. If you don't
9 like slang, quit comp.os.os2.advocacy, because you're going to see an
9 awful lot more slang there.

9 My "presuppositions" *are* correct. Hell, isn't it?

9 Here's the substantiation for the claim:

9 Classic spurious denial.

9 Nothing. Who cares, besides you? Not a living soul on the planet.

9 Classic spurious denial. You care more about the process of
9 net.KKKopping than the success of the intended result or the fact that
9 said net.KKKopping is itself off-topic, anyway (it's all about ego).
9 You'd have given up years ago, otherwise, because you reached the point
9 of diminishing returns long before now.

9 Another Off-Topic .signature

10 I just want to avoid claiming spurious WHOMPs, is all.

10 They do make it harder to avoid becoming overly skeptical, mind, which
10 is why I tend not to read alt.astronomy much -- when it comes to
10 unproven science, I prefer to be an agnostic. Prove it or disprove it
10 (meaning, prove that it isn't effective in any available conditions),
10 but don't expect me to take up a position on either side, otherwise. Of
10 course, the further-out the claims are, the less I expect any kind of
10 proof. Come to that, I haven't read any Pagan groups much, of late,
10 either...

10 Yes, true. I advise against letting those particular individuals get
10 too close...

10 Very (even though I now understand what that phrase refers to, and kind
10 of see how it may be valid (but let's not get into that here), the
10 expression is just too useful)!

16 due to his extreme unwillingness to quit his losing cause, even in the
16 face of most cooa regulars abandoning the group for private lists and
16 MicroSoft planning to discontinue support for OS/2, I do hereby

16 for further consideration, I give you the thousand or so lines below of

16 know why I, along with many others, am x-posting to "his" group (under
16 the assumption that we are all most likely trolling just to be
16 disruptive, so he can gather "evidence" which he can then show
16 everyone(tine, but don't tell him -- net.KKKops think "normal" people
16 are like them, fascists who think humans need to be 100% controlled and

17 snip

17 Clearly, you fail to understand the necessity of displaying a given
17 k00k's kooky qualities to all and sundry, so that everyone -- including
17 those who don't intend to vote or are disqualified from voting -- may
17 be made aware of the viability of the candidate, and will have no
17 reason to believe that either the nomination or the actual award were
17 made/given unfairly or through bias (though k00ks may, not totally
17 unreasonably, hold the opinion that they themselves have been treated
17 unfairly by AUK, they should at least be shown that other k00ks are
17 being given the same sort of treatment that they received). If we don't
17 make the whole process as transparent as possible -- within the
17 limitations of feasibility -- then complaints of
17 nomination/vote-rigging can become valid, which can cause all sorts of
17 problems (a new FNVW, at the very least, if not a re-structuring of the
17 voting process as well, or even a loss of credibility for AUK in
17 declaring anyone a k00k or coward or busted urinal or bearer of the
17 HoT) which none of us particularly care to see. Everyone can name at
17 least one person on the list of winners whom they honestly feel belongs
17 there, after all. You guys, frex, are fond of seeing Michael Baldwin,
17 Bruce litsed for some of the more negative awards, neh? Now, true, they
17 don't "matter" in the context of your families, jobs, or offline lives
17 in general, but in the online -- virtual -- context, they do, as much
17 as anything does.

Hmmm, I don't get a another UV point when re-litsed by the same person,
do I?

No, it either has to be an entirely new lits, or a litsed sockpuppet.

Note that the named digests are a bit unique in that they are really a
one-at-a-time lits (which count), but also are an example of fanboi
behavior where the subject fanboi starts threads in one's hono(u)r.
These don't count toward UV.

The thologame between the rmc digests and the named digests is now
clear; oar pin was having his hypocrisy exposed again and again (see
tom of rmc) for digesting posts that were not posted to rmc, yet
tacking his "what does that have to do with classical music" lame at
the end anyway (especially true in my case). As a result, to get on
the classic rmc digest, you need to make at least one post there. It
also means lots of hypocritical "newsgroup clutter" in Wee Davie's fav
froup, cooa.

What is relevant to Classic "oar pin" Tholenator
" (or to OS/2) is in itself irrelevant, Classic
"oar pin" Tholenator ", as are both you and OS/2.
Go find a nice, long, pointed stake to sit on, and swivel on it.
We(tinw) will post whatever we (tinw) please to cooa, and you will only
be able to whine and cry. Forever.

Three words: OCD.

OK, never mind that last question. I think I _may_ already be eligible
for a Sombrero, but it's a tough call, if so. Goatblower psest-litsed
me several times last year, under each of my AUK nyms (though I don't
think I can legitimately claim "FreeSpeechStore", even though there
weren't many using that particular spelling who were involved in
x-posting to ne.weather -- there were still one or two besides me,
IIRC, including Frogbutt, I think -- 3 to 5 points there ("The Demon of
Mockery" was litsed twice, so maybe four, if separate litsings count)),
Scoville did his "email Shaw so many times they sent hardcopy detailing
his whining" thing *and* later posted about it, too (two points, if I
may count both), and Bowtie litsed me on his joint Allisat nom in
December (when he came out as FC -- one point). Also, I _know_ Psylvia
put me on her own lits, but I can't find the post where she did so, now
(immensely frustrating, that). Finally, I was recently frogged in
alt.callahans, and x-posted the evidence to AUK in my "TransWench" nym
-- however, the frogger is among the net.dead, having used an anonymous
remailer to do the deed.

Sockpuppets count. It seems like a lot of the classic litsing activity
has really died down; lately it is just oar pin and Jojo. Of course,
they are the most accomplished and professional litsors.

A fair amount of it is mocking of OS/2, Classic "oar pin"
Tholenator(tm) ", but you don't seem able to
acknowledge that fact. Life is hard, isn't it? Oh, wait, you need to
get one first. Never mind.

Perhaps a few clues along the way as well.

OK, if that means I can claim my FSS sock...At least four unique points
from Bartlo, then, plus two from Scoville, plus one from Bowtie, plus
one from the new frogger, plus one from Tholenator equals nine, and I
just remembered the summer 2002 net.KKKopping by an alt.redheads k00k
(Graham? I don't really recall...He knew someone on Shaw's AUP Team,
anyway), which cost me a week's net.access -- TEN UV POINTS! If my
pre-AUK days count, that is.
