I will sometimes reject as a troll a posting that everyone else accepts,
simply because it doesn't "ring true".

Most people do such a bad job of describing what's going on, that a
perfectly legitimate (though odd) situation can come out sounding quite
phony.

I'm starting to think this is a fake.

I knew it from the start. It's in my blood :)

Thank you for your confidence everyone: If I wanted to wind everyone
up, dont you think I would have found a funnier way of doing it than
this?

If someone can get me a way of posting a wav file to a NG, let me know
and I will stick a microphone in front of the speaker and post
whatever it records

Meanwhile I will take the speaker out and report back if/when I have a
result

Not if you're just not too funny in the first place.

But you've already subbed the speaker and the hiss went away or so I
thought I had previously read.

You'd be amazed at some of the stupid stuff you see in UseNet groups. I've
never seen any of these that were actually funny.

The problem is that you are describing something that doesn't seem to make
any sense, or have any obvious explanation. This quite naturally makes
people suspicious.
