No. In some cases you simply have to respond even to people like you,
because other inexperienced people might take your comments seriously.

I would _really_ like to know how you define a Usenet troll, apart from
just a "You don't agree with me, so you're a troll".

I (and others too) have posted facts often enough, but since they didn't
fit your own opinion or came from "incredible" sources you've rejected
them all. Like I already said.

You're talking about yourself here.

Welcome to Usenet.

Neither yours. With responses to spammers you're just an annoyance to
many regular readers. I'm not the only one who asked you to please stop
feeding the spammers. But you don't listen to any of us.

I'm sure that you can prove that ...
Or maybe this is just your own opinion taken as a universal truth?

I prefer news servers with competent admins, where spam is kept low even
without any self-appointed "spam fighters".

>Go away, troll.

Is this your newsgroup or what? What about putting me in your killfile?
Or do I have to show you how it works?
