I agree wholeheartedly. Luckily it only appears in one of the newgroups to which I am subscribed but clearly it is the product of a perverted mind and doesn't bear any remote relevance to the groups to which it is posted. Also this type of posting seems to have become more prevalent lately. On a positive front, my newreader allows me to just delete these posts and I will not even see any follow-up posts, if there are any.

This troll is a combination of trying to get people into a website, and also to "pretend" to be a concerned citizen, in the hope of sparking a cross-posted threat that will probably degenerate into a flame war sooner or later. Just don't answer messages like this, and learn to recognise the fakes that are also a troll. I'm ashamed to be responding, but the only REAL weapon against trolls is to ignore them; but that requires everyone to know when they should stay away from the Reply button. One of my other favourite newsgroups has just been torn to shreds by a few trolls working together. It also affected a number of other completely unrelated newsgroups that were cross-posted to. The thing that destroyed all the newsgroups was the counter-arguments and angry responses which flooded them all, multiplied in a chain reaction and completely drowned out the real content of all the groups involved. Within a week, virtually all normal postings to the group had ceased. Taking a troll message or a fake message troll seriously is a very dangerous thing. Just Don't Get Involved (except *maybe* to try to calm down and educate other people who post troll-victim responses - shrug, I don't know if this message will work)
Perhaps you are the troll, BUDDY. Strangely, Brad has posted to these groups before on a technical/help basis, his website is active, and he is actually the owner and admin for his domain name. You, on the other hand, are totally new to any of the newsgroups that I subscribe to.

I was thinkin about adding my source ng, but that was after I clicked the send. I just found out recently that I'm in the top 10 all-time posters in c.d.i, and almost half of my postings are even thoughtful (I like to believe). One day soonish i might get started in a db2 group (IBM buyout of Informix and all that) but less likely to join the others as far as I can see my future. Maybe this nice guy Brad got sucked in then. I know we both have - fom the evidence. I recently got that message a few times through other sources. I don't pay attention of course so I can't recognise it's entire format. I'm so ****** off at the damage to my other-mentioned favourite ng that I'm imagining spilling the blood of trolls and spammers this week. But netnews has absolutely no security beyond the goodwill of the participants, and that is clearly way too optimistic for this sorry world. Let's not justify the trolls existence any more. Sorry I got involved. Pleased to meet you Lurban, Brad and everyone else out there who is thoughtful enough not to get involved - apologies to you. I think all the database groups should get together on a regular basis for beer and bbq, but everyone would have to promise not to start shouting at each other :-) Kirk out. Beam me up Scotty.
