From: JSH on
Every once in a while I like to remind why my threads start with my
initials "JSH" in front, as I'm sure the why gets forgotten, and the
answer is that years ago--like now as some things just don't change--
posters would complain about my posts, and look for ways to avoid
them.

So I'm reading these complaints and I don't care, if you don't want to
read my posts that's fine with me and preferable to all the verbal
abuse anyway, so one of these guys complaining is talking about how
hard it is to figure out which threads are mine, and asked that I do
something to make it easier!!!

So I added my initials to help people on the newsgroup avoid my
threads.

And that is why I put my initials at the start of threads I create
though at times I may for my own reasons drop that usage and will not
always do it on other newsgroups.

So the "JSH" is there to help people who wish to avoid threads that I
create.

However brilliant you think you are,
many here are amusing themselves at your
expense, i.e., they are laughing _at you_,
and not _with you_.

Maybe when your gigantic (and
unfounded) ego let's you see this, you will
notice.

Have some self-respect and stop being the
unwitting sci.math jester.

James,

Thank you for this practice. I see* three unnecessary and vituperative
replies but I am sure there are many who approve of the appended initials.

*which just means I should add them to my kill filter.
