It gets funnier though. I suspect there's several groups monitoring *the

doing it is such a nonsensical way, and partly because of his wide 
randing rants which I suspect are just designed to start an argument. 

(Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch, "I came here for an argument." 
"Oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse. Ah yes, you want NANAE, Just along the 
corridor").

So following the rules of NANAE, since I'm not sure of Virus Guy's 
gender, I'll refer to it as she/he/It or s/h/it for short. First of all, 
I'm not out to get s/h/it, I enjoy the posts as a form of entertainment. 
I filtered s/h/it for a while until I realized this sh now I gleefully 
look forward to it. It turns out there's a history here and about a year 
ago, the following summary of s/h/it's posts were as follows:-

2759 From: Some Guy 
2188 From: 98 Guy 
2071 From: Virus Guy 
 298 From: Spam Guy 
  57 From: 98 Guy 
  52 From: Google Guy 
  41 From: Some Guy 
  22 From: Virus Guy 
  18 From: Ninety8 Guy  
  16 From: Maps Guy 
  11 From: News Guy 
   9 From: CD Guy 
   8 From: Some Guy` 
   6 From: Radio Guy 
   6 From: New Guy 
   5 From: virus guy 
   5 From: Sum Guy 

Then - due to pressure from many over forgery of the guy.com and 
burnore.com domains and posting addresses, s/h/it changed and attempted 
simple obfuscation using non-printing characters between the letters. 
Some of these you will have seen here, but the following is a summary of 
some of s/h/it's attempts to start an argument.

I assume that s/h/it enjoys reading the front page of National Enquirer 
in the check out line at the local dollar store.

So in summary, my advice is to take whatever s/h/it throws at you with a 
pinch of salt. Many posts are clearly off-topic for the groups, but that 
seems not to concern s/h/it. The best is, s/h/it can be fun, but don't 
expect to win any arguments. Remember that the world's problems will be 
solved with everyone reverting to Win98 and blocking every IP address on 
the internet to stop spam. We also all must agree that all AV software is 
crap (sorry with the mixed metaphor) and that s/h/it was right about it 
all along. Just to show that s/h/it is good, the occasional post of 
helpful, friendly advice on current topics will serve to show that under 
medication or whatever, s/h/it is just like us. Zero words of 
encouragement is recommended.
