so trading off sorting through anonymity in exchange for loss of
personal privacy is a good thing, you reckon? I differ, and have never
had any problem sorting through the spammers and sock puppets on Usenet
by myself.

Actually I love sock puppets, especially Personaobscura and Mikey's
various socks.

Have no idea who "Mikey" is, but thanks, I guess. As for "socks", you don't
have Clue One. But that's what makes you so much fun to play with.

Don't ever change.

Ah huh...... sure..... If you don't know Mikey you shouldn't be here.
Really!

And, for everyone else: See, ROFF is alive and well, suffering through
the Fortenberrys and the Wolfgangs........and all the unecessary
socks..... d;o)
