Don't sugar coat it, Dan. Tell us how you really feel. ;)

Suppose he actually believes those delusions, and because he is of the
opinion that we are all under the mind control of the massive
multi-mega-corporation that is plotting to take over the world by
developing KDE and Gnome, he thinks us just different parts of the same
hive-mind. Fortunately for us, his minuscule consciousness cannot
conceive of the *full* scope of our plan.

But he will be absorbed, as have been all the rest. Resistance is futile.

Okay, now you're scaring me. :p That sounds *exactly* like this...

"I am Billgatus of MICROS~1. Insert the Windows installation CD
and reboot your computers. Resistence is futile. UNIX is
irrelevant. You will be assimilated."

:p

Well, you know, earlier this year, there was someone on one of the UFO
groups - I have in the meantime left those because of the spam and the
trolling - who showed many of the traits of Alan Connor/Sidney Lambe -
for one, he or she could not interpret headers correctly and any reply
to his or her posts, whether hostile or benevolent, agreeing or
disagreeing, was met with four letter words and ad hominem attacks -
and who *insisted* that I was a CIA agent, eventhough I'm not even an
American citizen. Actually, we were allegedly *all* CIA agents, the
whole group. :-)

Well... If that is true, then I'm going to contact Langley for my
paycheck, because I haven't seen a dime from them in all of those
years. :p

Like I said, there were many similarities, i.e.:
- not being able to ascertain where a poster posts from;
- being hostile to whomever replies, whether in agreement or
disagreement;
- making claims without providing evidence, even when called
upon this;
- swearing and insulting;
- nymshifting;
- total paranoia;
- accusing multiple distinct posters of being one and the same
person; and
- attention-starvedness.

The differences:
- said poster was using a Windows newsreader - I believe it was X-News
but I am uncertain;
- said poster always used a web URL as the posting name, which would
be changed to a different URL when the nymshift occurred;
- said poster did not claim to be using a "gagging filter";
- said poster's claims were all with regard to the purported "Planet X",
also known as "Nibiru", or about the inclination of the earth's
rotational access, or about earth being on a decaying orbit which
would allegedly cause it to crash into the sun anytime soon.

In other words, it is highly likely that this poster was not the same
person as Sidney Lambe/Alan Connor, but the similarities were so eerie
that they could be either siblings or escapees from the same mental
ward.

Any idea who's been keeping the site updated (and paid for) now that our
respected friend Blinky the Shark has departed to "the greatest of all
oceans"?

(R.I.P. Blinky, your technical advice and your incredible sense of humor
are missed!)

Well, in Sidworld, we're all the same person, so if just one of us is a
CIA agent, we all are.

I suspect most of these are simply traits many successful trolls
share.

That's what the earth gets for running a GDE (Geocentric Desktop
Environment).
