Yup

So you deny being a 'TROLL / THIEF / LIAR / RACIST'? I didn't include
homophobe and anti-semitic as there ain't enough space.

Not at all. I know how to use a killfile. Troll feeders piss me off
much more.

Hehe, whatever you say flattie.

I'm glad you realise that those pissed of with Roy's posts are, in the
main, trolls. Including you of course. The personal attacks on Roy
have been indicative of how much he bothers the likes of you. Only Rex
has been subjected to venomous personal attacks on this scale.

I'll nominate him for having the stamina to post on-topic News articles
despite the personal abuse he gets from trolls such as yourself.

Utter unsubstantiated bullshit. A text newsgroup such as COLA uses a
tiny amount of resources compared to binary newsgroups. Please give a
single example of a newsfeed that has reduced article retention of
COLA since Roy started posting? Just one. I remember when 4,000+
articles per week were the norm on COLA. Compared to other text only
newsgroups like alt.atheism COLA is but a pimple on your backside.
