It was, indeed, the BoaterDave nym.

So, should I believe that you *accidently* added a.p.s. newsgroup?

What, your finger slipped? )

If you look at the thread, and try to determine who initiated the
"unnecessary" crosspost to "alt.privacy.spyware" it will appear to the
uninitiated that it was *I* that did so. Those that understand how
Usenet works *can* investigate further to see the post I was responding
to had the line "Followup-To: alt.politics.scorched-earth,
alt.privacy.spyware" in the header.

If you want to act like a troll, that is your prerogative. To add the
crosspost in a manner that makes someone else look like a troll is also
your prerogative, but I would hope that you wouldn't want to discourage
*me* from continuing to engage you in conversation, as I have been
generally civil towards you despite the fact that people I trust, wish
that I would not respond to you at all, ever.
