What if I don’t want to read your newsgroup messages, either?

That’s OK. I have no desire to force others to view my messages. For that reason, I rarely make any changes in my posting characteristics.

Predictably, a few hours after this FAQ first appeared, someone shown on my personal troll list copied my work, verbatim, and then added me as a troll, along with his personal opinion of me. He certainly has the right to do so. Since I rarely change my posting characteristics, he listed them accurately, and they may be found here. Should you desire to filter or “killfile” me, please feel free to do so. If for some reason I change posting characteristics in the future, it will not be with the intention of circumventing anyone’s filters, and I hope this FAQ will be helpful in showing you how to adapt to those changes.
