This doesn't look like you're winning at all, for fuck's sake.

(FNVW, is it possible to nominate Paul "Two Socks" Derbyshire for the Goofy
Azzed Babboon for this very old post?)

*You* cannot nominate anyone for anything, Offishul AUK Spankling.

Furthermore, I am assuming you mutated that attribution line in your usual
manner and it actually only said "Captain Koloth" or similar. If so, the new
rules forbid real-lifing the guy unless he's an outerfilther himself.

Lastly, there's no evidence the name you stated is the name of the poster that
wrote that old article anyway.

P.S. You are obviously a complete nincompoop when it comes to Star Trek. The
poster of that old article was obviously acting the part of a Klingon, for
whatever reason. Where was it, in a Star Trek group? (Since you didn't post a
message-ID, did alter the attribution line, and didn't specify the group, I
can't find it.)

Restored; you've already stunk up that group enough, Paul Derbyshire.

Paul G. Derbyshite, stop speaking about yourself in the third person.

Shut up, Paul Derbyshite; you are not the FNVW.

Wrong.

Not the XanaNews frogger/forger this time, and doesn't look like Stalemate or
Morphy either. Posted through a server I've never heard of before, too.

OK, which twit is frogging me this time? And why are you bothering
comp.lang.java.programmer, AGAIN, with this silly feud? Based on that fact
alone I'm guessing Account Banned as the likely culprit, but lack proof (and,
unlike a kook, freely admit that I lack proof).
