OK, Wobbot, I'll accept that I've been had insofar as Ms Hooper may not be
all he/she seems, but 'twas done in such a weird manner that I'm not sure it
counts as trolling.
Either Virginiaz can write, and write well, or she spend considerable time
collecting and compiling her material into a coherent blob for publication
on the 'net. Given your comments about the amount of time she spends
on-line on AOL, and her identifiable posts to other newsgroups, I think that
what we have here is a rare, genuine, old-fashioned,
made-in-limited-numbers-for-your-delight, Usenet Kook.
Kooks - as well as being a valuable source of essential oils - have many
other uses on the 'net. They provide general entertainment, they scurry
around unearthing interesting sites, they say and do peculiar but amusing
things, and - most importantly - they help limit the number of sane posters
by scaring them away.
In short, a Kook is a very valuable asset for a newsgroup. We should be
proud of our rec.running Kook and do everything in our power to keep it
happy and healthy. For my part, I faithfully promise not to annoy or
upset the Kook any further. I shall - last thing at night - leave out
tasty morsels upon which it may feed. I shall make myself available to
take it walks to other newsgroups if it so wishes. And I shall no longer
soil its home territory with my inane ramblings.
Welcome, Kook! Please, sit over here next to me. Make yourself at home
:-)
