Polite as always. No arguments, but insults.
The newsgroups _are_ part of my business.

Do you _really_ think that a spammer reads your responses? You're not in
the position to fight spam. Server admins and some chosen people allowed
to foreign cancel are. With your useless off-topic responses you're just
polluting the newsgroups and adding more noise to the traffic.

Offending as always.

Many things.

What you're doing (or want to do) is to put people in the pillory like
in the dark ages. I really didn't think you were _that_ old.

At least not in your country, we all know that. In other more civilized
countries you might get into trouble with doing that, because even such
people have civil rights.
