Randy Knobloch

You have read my post regarding piggybacking my posts/threads with
totally irrelevant information pertaining to the post/thread.
Why are you doing this?
Stop NOW or you WILL be reported!

Randy
 
When you click on his name in his posts you go to HIS profile, the same
profile i've been looking at for years now. BTW I just watched his profile
go from 6599 posts to 6600 a minute ago, so he just posted somewhere.
 
Steady Guys

Thats not really Randy. Its our troll back again. Take a look at his
profile, which is not Randy`s email address.

Kids went back to school this week after the Christmas hols. Not surprising
he has reappeared.

Engel, it's up to you to report this spoofer to MS.

Best wishes.

Cloning is alive and well. Not only you are being cloned (Randy) so is
Engel. Now, if we could only clone the newsgroup, and send these guys
into this parallel universe, all would be well...

Cloning *can* be stopped - report the offending IP to (e-mail address removed)
MS is aware of this and takes it very seriously.

Randy, I haven't noticed the issue you are complaining about. Remember that
we have had trolls in these forums, and consider that possibility. When you
look at the posts that you find inappropriate in the web forums, do they
have Engel's characteristic symbol?

Read the ENTIRE thread, Bill.

I have read it. I see a reply from a troll using Engel's name.

I'm not sure what's going on, but if you feel it is a serious issue, I would
strongly recommend simply taking whatever action you feel is appropriate
without publicly announcing it in advance here.

If you've been observant, Microsoft has been doing some work marking Troll
related messages here as spam.

Making threats against other forum posters, however well-intentioned or
deserved they may be, simply confuses onlookers.

Just make your complaint through whatever offline channels you choose. The
real Engel won't be hurt by that.

Agreed,
It was the harshness of the original "PING" post that lead some folks here
to think that Randy himself had been spoofed.

I myself have seen at times threads being taken off topic, that's part of
being in a newsgroup [though the completely unrelated "piggy backing" is a
newer phenomenon].

Trust me, if I allowed myself to "go off" every time someone in this group
took us way off track, especially in Announcements, I would be banned from
the group. I usually just roll my eyes and say, "There s/he goes again".

I do repeat my statements elsewhere that we just respond to "our" spoofed
messages with a simple "SPOOF ALERT": The above message was not posted by me.
This way folks will know to ignore it.
