[OT] of a similar bent?

I've stumbled across this poster calling himself "Dave Searles" in
the NG: alt.comp.software.newsreaders, who's writing style is *very*
similar to the "Hieronymus S. Freely" posting "style" in this NG.
A little similarity in headers (inconclusive), as both are using
different (free) servers to post:

Hi Snipe.
Thanks for that: I think Seamus, Dave, and HSF are one and the same.
Their headers are all too similar, same clients posting from the
same TZs at least. I tried to GG "Bobby Larter", but couldn't get a
hit.
Another clue was given in "Dave Searles" OP into
alt.comp.software.newsreaders, where he was waxing on about the
features he wanted to see in Thunderbird. This mentioned
multiple personality postings.

* Multiple server configurations with the same server hostname can
be made without clobbering each other's settings. (As it stands,
there's a workaround to get a small number: use the IP address
for one, the hostname for the second, and if there are additional
hostnames for the same server, use those; for instance, if
foo.org and nntp.foo.org are aliases for 117.114.3.46 all three
of foo.org, nntp.foo.org, and 117.114.3.46 can be used to set up
three identities using that server. But this is pretty sucky and
complex and limited.)...

conforms to Windows UI-behavior expectations and that, at minimum:

* Multiple identities with separate subscribed groups lists, even
more than one using the same server.

I'm not convinced. Bot-ish, perhaps a cut & paster or someone

Since it's the latest version (it periodically checks for updates), it
is the same version as tens of thousands of people use, if not more;
perhaps even millions.

Thunderbird has millions of users. Avast! has millions of users. This
time zone has millions of inhabitants. And both software products
auto-update.
This is nothing more than coincidence, and if you don't realize that,

In theory, theory and practice are the same.

a.non...@example.invalid says...
That's probably default behaviour by avast! -- it inserts itself and
listens into all kinds of ports and intercepts outgoing as well as
incoming *unless you install in expert mode and tell it not to*.
Probably not half bad as a default idea because it's going to
potentially stop some lusers from inadvertantly sending out trojans etc,
be it through dumb actions or be it through their highjacked zombie-
ware.
I wonder if it specifically grabs Thunderbird/Outlook output or if it
would grab other newsreader's text output as well ... I assume not but I
can't be bothered to test this by reconfiguring my install of avast!.
Can't really see why it would watch outgoing on port 119.

Then you would be wrong.
Someone needs to smack you with yet another reminder that avast
automatically updates itself, so every single user will have it updated
to the same timestamped update version.

Indeed it isn't. I google my name now and again in case some fucker
decides to try badmouthing me behind my back. Well, some fucker did, and
it didn't take me long to discover that fact and start fighting back.

Purr-leaze, Seamus, erm Hiero, erm Robo, erm... "Dave" - Or whoever
it is you are calling yourself this week...
You're making yourself out to be a bigger idiot than anyone can
give you credit for - and that is *not* an insult, that is a FACT.
Anyone with a decent newsclient (I have, its called Xnews) and a
good ISP (one that has good retention AND allows XPAT searches) can
see that in the past several months, there has been only *one*
person posting in here with *your* TZ and *your* Avast auto updates.
That one person is *you* - no matter what handle you give yourself.
It has been you and *only* you, my dear creature of habit.
That wasn't an an insult, either, that was just another FACT. If I
had wanted to insult you, I would've called you a 'tard - but that
would be insulting 'tards.
Now that *was* an insult, "Hieronymus S. Freely"

Don't read too much into that. avast! is a very common free anti-virus
program. It updates automatically, so the dates/versions *should* be the
same. Scanning outbound and scanning News postings are defaults, so if
anything, it confirm the cluelessness of its users! :-)
OTOH, I agree that the combination Thunderbird/avast! is somewhat of a
clue.

You pegged it. However, we now have proof it's two posters.
Dave uses [personal attack...] and HSF uses [insult]. Dave uses
"Wrong" and HSF uses [Error: wrong target]. Such gross

At least someone here besides me is capable of rational thought.

If you're going to switch your response-bot to DanC mode you'll
need to do better than that.

Now someone's showing some slight glimmerings of intelligence.
By the way, who are you people? I assume you're connected with (or
sockpuppets of) someone I've had a fight with in another newsgroup who
wanted to badmouth me somewhere where he/she/they thought I wouldn't
quickly show up to rebut their nonsense, but where Google would
dutifully archive it.
Maybe Raffael Cavalero the copyright nut? Or the Kent
Willis/womanGoddess/freedom unholy trinity? Or that fuckhead dynamic
duo, Arne Vajhoj and Lars Enderin?

You admit that you do not comprehend my message? I guess it's not
