That's how it is on the unmoderated Usenet. Some of the nuts are fun to
taunt, other are just too pathetically ignorant to waste time on. in any
case, Trolls feed on attention, and ignoring them is the best course of
action. This last one claimed to be performing his act as a public service,
yet has no moral dilemma with annoying a hundred innocents to accomplish his
ludicrous task. Of course, his attempted victim has proven to be impervious
to logic and facts that are contrary to his beliefs, but this use of 5th
grade schoolyard tactics may teach him why most people don't put their
personal information out on the web. I wonder how many new magazine
subscriptions, etc. are showing up?
Just remember what Freud said about people who capitalize all of their "k"s.

Re: what exactly happened here?
I wonder if it would be possible for the ISP's to filter out posts from
these anonymous remailers? After all all of this stuff has to come
through their servers and it's wasting good bandwidth and annoying their
customers.
