  1. I know most of you have probably killfiled he/she/it, but can anyone
    explain him/her/it in a way that I can at least understand why these
    multiple posts in every newsgroup under the sun (and moon) that nobody
    is ever going to read? Trolls are typically looking for a reaction,
    but the MI5 junk is posted so many places that he/she/it will never
    even see a reply. I like to think I understand the various types of
    trolls, but this one has me baffled.

  2. Why not find something more productive to do?

    Not a troll, definitely a kook. Honestly, probably someone who is
    minorly or majorly mentally ill.

    is allowed to drive a taxi in New York. For New York cabbies, honesty and
    stopping at red lights are both optional.

    Don't waste your time trying to understand, the internets have let
    loose too many kooks--ignore them.

    Google Groups users using Firefox should install Greasemonkey and the
    Google Groups killfile script:

    You'll see an "ignore user" by the name when in the thread. Works
    wonderfully!

    I read those posts and some of the paranoia is justified. Here in the
    United States the average city dweller is caught on camera about 50
    times per day. ATMs, mini-markets, big markets, traffic cameras, and
    more. Here in California the state capital, Sacramento, the government
    is installing cameras to monitor people walking down the street, and
    some may have directional microphones to listen in on conversations.
    The Bush administration is making the '1984' scenario come true.
    They just slip something in until people accept it and then suddenly you
    find that the Constitution is something Bush would just as soon use as
    toilet paper.
    M15 might be a strange person, but my information above comes directly
    from the news that I watch every night.
    Be afraid, very afraid.

    I guess if you look hard enough you can find somebody somewhere who
    actually believes some of this stuff. A metal military helmet of WWII
    vintage would at least protect from the real world hazards. I wouldn't
    want to be seen shopping at Wal-mart wearing one, but, to each his own.

  10. Spooks (aka MI5) is a great show. Zoe is a hottie.
