Catch up Margaret, it's the same moron, merely under a different name to get
round everyone's filters and block senders.

Too bad you can't forge " pgp " siggy. I bet you trolls hate that a lot.
Sounds like you're trying awfully hard to make sure that nobody
listens to what the " Min " has to say. What is it that you're afraid
people will hear?
Wonder who pulls your " marionette " strings?
You should be more careful. Your troll record shows up all over
the place. 13,200 times you trolled as a " spamster. "

Most other people are tired of this stuff too.
So, use a filter and don't look at it.
And if you're going to complain, do it by email and send a copy to
their ISP.
It's not a good idea to post the same 1700 lines back into the group.
Probably not a good idea to mention a physical threat, either.

I remember making that posting and I remember the thread it was in.
I don't see anything trollish about it.

that was the end.
To return the favour, it's MargAret, i.e. I'm not German.
