Thanks, Mark. You make some good points. Some of these Digg stalkers (I'm not
really exaggerating here) remind me of linux-sux-lycos, who has just
returned to this newsgroup. Like Gary+++, perhaps he's back on this time of
the month when he's on heavy tampon shuffle. Whether others know it or not,
he chose nyms that are colleagues and people whom I know. Perhaps he's
trying to get attention (mine or /theirs/) in this way, as well as lead them
to pressuring me or be upset at me. The only thing worse than a troll is an
anonymous coward. The latter has no liability issues, so it's a criminal on
the loose.
