According to the help screen displayed by pressing '?' with my custom
keys definitions disabled, it appears the "End" key will go to the
end of a message.
Of course, you can always redefine it yourself. I add:
bind pager G bottom
...to the default.

Yeh. Anonymous posts from individual.net. You could have a
thousand aliases. Just need a little playing with the look of
the headers like below.
They are a pretty hardass newsserver, though, so most trolls
reserve their post from here for their nice-guy aliases.
To ask for help, mostly.
You wouldn't help their more commonly used aliases from
other newsservers because you've already killfiled them.

$ host hunter-gatherer.org
hunter-gatherer.org A record currently not present
Pretty hard to mail a server that has no address!
Gatherer-Hunter is much more accurate. For example,
the average pre-contact Native American had a diet
composed of 85% or better plant foods.
The same applies to the overwhelming majority of
omnivorous, non-agricultural cultures.
More so for primitive cultures with subsistence agriculture.

Gee, that looks so official. But where's the URL to
their website?!

Except that there _is_ no hunter-gatherer.org.
You can create any MID with slrn. Mine's fake too, although
it's obvious in my case.

I own the domain. The adress works if yiy send email to it. Would you
have prefered if the address given was
jag-tar-aeven-emot...@hunter-gatherer.org (yes, that one
works too)?
By the way, what is your problem? The fact that you don't get a last
name?

% host -t mx hunter-gatherer.org
hunter-gatherer.org mail is handled by 20 mail-2.blackcatnetworks.co.uk.
hunter-gatherer.org mail is handled by 10 mail.blackcatnetworks.co.uk.
Do your homework next time.

Unless you have a degree in etnography I am fairly confident I know more
about pre-agricultural diets than you do. However, there is a word (or
rather a combination of words) that is normally used to describe such
groups.

Unfortunately busab.org was taken, and for some peculiar reason I could
not get busab.gov, which would have been more fitting...

Ok, then you won't see my explanation of how you are talking out of your
arse.

Ahh, and the Swedish key-map appears to not work for that key ("Key not
bound").

For those who'd like to know how the world *actually* works, and not
just how it works in a usenet troll's fantasy, I'll break this down:
It's true, a simple DNS A record lookup on hunter-gatherer.org turns
up nil:
$ dig hunter-gatherer.org a +short
$
Nothing.
But a WHOIS query reveals that there is absolutely
a hunter-gatherer.org domain, and that it's registered to a person
with christian name Par somewhere in Sweden, through a German
registrar.
In any case, we don't need an A record to send mail. To send an email
to a domain, we need only lookup its MX record. Let's try that again:
$ dig hunter-gatherer.org mx +short
20 mail-2.blackcatnetworks.co.uk.
10 mail.blackcatnetworks.co.uk.
$
*Now* we need an A record for one of those MX hosts. The lower the
leading integer, the more preferred an MX host is, so we'll use the
latter record.
$ dig mail.blackcatnetworks.co.uk a +short
193.201.200.50
There it is. Now all the outgoing mail server has to do is open up an
SMTP connexion to that IP and say it has a message for
use...@hunter-gatherer.org Your own outgoing mailserver (whether
your own, or your ISP's) does this automatically for just about every
email you send.
I'm convinced that if we're going to have trolls in this group, we
will have *educated* trolls, dammit! :-)
Cheers!

Not at all: You probably just suffer from a misconfigured TERM.

Since I was *sure* I saw the "X-Troll=Yes" tags in the header I don't
need to. I just got mildly irritated[1] and responded anyway. Bad habit,
just like picking on scabs.

My 3-year old kid behaves in much the same way, except she is a bit more
mature about it.

[1] A true irritation would have resulted in much stronger language, for
one thing.

Alan's posted that kind of thing before, and has been corrected before.
Unfortunately he chooses to remain ignorant. One of those cases where a
little knowledge is an irritating thing, I'm afraid.

The thing I've noticed, particularly about Usenet, that while as a welcome
break from work it is refreshing and interesting, when you've got bugger all
else to do it kinda loses its appeal. -- C Speed
