A.A. Fussy (and his buddy "Omar") are simply trolls. PLEASE resist the
urge to reply to them and add them to your killfile (newsgroup
filtering) lists or (again) ignore them.
When you reply to "them", you're simply giving "them" the attention
they so badly and immaturely crave.
I'd like to again make the point that not all of us have these
'killfiles' you so richly extol. I don't have direct access to
newsgroups, so I use Google Groups which doesn't have 'killfile'
capability (at least not yet... you never know what Google might come
up with).
I hope it's understandable that I get a bit irritated when the
response to somebody getting ticked off with somebody else is "just
killfile them". It's not a one-size-fits-all solution.
That said, I would agree strongly that we should ignore Fussy and all
other charlatans who post prolifically to the group without adding
squat (this includes Mr. "If it says Babya, it's <insert expletive
here>ware". What's the point? All of us already know that there's no
substance whatsoever to either of their posts.
So please, for those of us who can't just killfile people, don't spam
the group and assume that everybody who doesn't like it won't see it.
