No, he's actually just trolling.

Whenever you reply to a message in a thread, if you see it is
crossposted to 5 newsgroups, that usually means the person who posted
it is trying to flood one of the groups with meaningless posts for
whatever weird reason of his own. In this case, alt.slack, which Rob
Cypher has been trying to "have a war against" for several weeks.

Rob Cypher is apparently a cough-syrup addict who is trying to become
an internet celebrity or something. Really, no kidding. There is a
video clip of him floating around somewhere but I didn't save a link.
A TV show actually did an episode on him just because he is so
incredibly pathetic.

I would hope to think that this is maybe hell. Maybe this is hell because then we could go on to something else. Because this aint so bad.

Because I don't have any way of knowing which newsgroup the lady I was
replying to is reading, and posting a reply to her which she would not
have seen would have been pointless.

I was going to have cosmetic surgery until I noticed that the doctor's office was full of portraits by Picasso.

No problem, I didn't mean to sound critical.

You made a cogent point.
