      This could be dramatically more efficient if you prepend the loop with:

    Apropos

    When suppertime came the old cook came on deck sayin'
    "Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya"
    At seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said
    "Fellas, it's been good to know ya"

      Imagine it's the last minute of the last day, and that arista-kid finally makes a reasonable post, just as the service is being shut down forever... and when they realize it they'll have wire the thing all back together again and try to fire it back up, just to mark his post as Spam.

      I think I received some of your mail by mistake. Fwd:

      It's someone who thinks he must be a king

      I assume you are directing that at me - but I didn't make the Troll moderation. In fact, I hadn't even noticed the original comment until your post immediately above brought it to my attention.

      What you are failing to grasp is that every account in the community can moderate, and they do so. You are projecting again.

      You want others to think it is targetted at you personally - it isn't. That you are being victimised - you are not. My actions are against sock puppet accounts, and it is irrelevant to me who creates them.

      Your problem is a mental one - you have to make it obvious to others who you really are because otherwise you are just another Trolling AC. And by making yourself known you are inviting those who do agree with you to moderate posts that they think are yours. And that irks you.

      My actions against sock puppets are making you get frustrated and angry because you haven't been able to carry out any of the threats that you have made over the last few years. So "Puppetmaster", please seek medical help. I don't care who you are in the world but I do care about your mental health.

        That's the classic. I almost posted it but got distracted. Glad somebody did. 16 years ago, seems like eternity.

    Thanks for archiving things Takyon. I was suprised to be in the first set you called out in the NC thread, since I think I only ever wrote one journal. Anyway, your efforts over time are greatly appreciated. Cheers!
