Why should I? You yourself just called her "acid."

You really are one of those people that believes you can do what you
want as long as it pleases you.

Did you know, while alt groups are sometimes free-for-all's, in a non-
Alt group, there are charters that dictate the prescribed behavior, and
that some ISP as well as Usenet providers will terminate your account
for constantly violating the rules.

In the early days a group started as an alt group and after months or
years of being controlled by rules it could request to be moved out of
the alt structure....

While you may believe that your desires actually mean something, acting
against the rules show your contempt for the rest of us and the
structure put in place, which seems to make you and BD a match.

If it's not on topic in the group, then it's a form of chaos.

People have been saying that Usenet is dying for a decade, and it's not
any closer to dying today.

You keep making excuses for not following the rules that have stood for
a long time - you show your contempt for Usenet and the structure.

How can YOU feel that YOU are more important than something that was
created and has worked well before you even learned it was here. Your
belief that you have a right to change it tells a lot about you.

A resemblance of order arising from the emergent behavior of entities in
chaos.

If the entities weren't in chaos, they would be able to stay on topic -
being constrained as it were.

Entities with simple rules can display emergent behavior that appears
complex, from the flocking of birds (boids) and schooling of fish, to
butterfly migrations, to the lifecycles and behaviors of computer worms
and viruses (which can carry spyware with them). This is probably why
mathematical definitions of malware have taken a back seat to behavioral
definitions.

The fact that some AV or AM application doesn't see some malware
shouldn't really surprise anyone.
