Does anyone else find these posts as strangely mesmerising (albeit
completely incomprehensible) as I do?
They certainly beat "ID4 sucks!"

As far as completely incomprehensible Usenet posts go, this guy's not
that bad.
Sure as hell beats most of the postings in soc.culture.japan...
> They certainly beat "ID4 sucks!"
Hear hear.

Ever heard of a period? It's this character: "." See, it looks just
like a little dot. It's used to end sentences. Sentences begin with
a capitalized word and are ended with a period (.), question mark (?),
or exclaimation point (!) depending on the type if sentence. When
organized in this way, writing becomes much easier to read and
understand.
What an appalling lack of appreciation for what strikes me as a very unique
and effective writing style! Cosineve's run-on sentences and other
grammatical idiosyncrasies serve to convey a certain state of mind that is
essential to his fascinating narratives. This person is clearly a very
talented and imaginative writer.

Why is it that half the time I read these pedantic corrections, the
person doing the correcting thinks that his *own* grasp of English is
so damn perfect that he can't be bothered to look up the spelling of
simple words like "exclamation" or the grammar of phrases like "the
type if sentence"?
In any case, I really really doubt the original post would have been
any more comprehensible if it had looked like this:
This spine chilling thriller has a strange twist. Another fish
has stolen the fish's identity and goes on a rampage. He starts
to murder people and eat their flesh. Mark Ebert is on the hunt
for this new fish. He is being blamed for these murders and is
arrested. The murders do not stop. They then continue. He is
released from prison. He stalks and finds the fake killer fish.
A brief struggle happens. The fish pulls his nut and tells the
fake fish he does not give a fuck - he can be the fish as a
matter of policy. The police make him take a drug test. He comes
back hot. He then puts his hands on his hips and says "fuck it"
and heads to the welfare office to get a medical card to get his
nut fixed. The end.
The deranged rambling stream-of-consciousness form "Cosineve" uses,
which you're so critical of (despite it being a perfectly legitimate
literary technique, as used by James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, among
countless others) is in fact utterly appropriate to the contents of
the post. It's not supposed to make any sense, and correcting grammar
and punctuation just makes it look ridiculous instead of mesmerisingly
surreal.

I think the posts are plots of films and the poster is filling blanks
with 'fish'. He wants us to fill in the blanks. (see 'best love
scene' for Deliverance). Although I must say I have not
yet deciphered the meaning of Mark Ebert. Read the following with
blanks.

Note of course that I don't recognise the film

"Flesh Eating Fish" actually sounds kinda like a Joe D'Amato movie I saw
once.

As the English say,
BOLLOCKS!
