Ahh but what if you could use peoples stupidity to cause cataclysmic
destruction.  The only problem I can see is that a lot of news servers
have restrictions on the number of groups you can x-post too.  So you
have to keep the number around 10.  Any more than that usually alerts
people to the the cross posting and they'll snip it down to a single
group.  

I've learned an important trick though.  Past endeavors have tried to
piss people off and troll them into causing the damage.  I however
believe it can be taken to new heights.  If you can damage people
enough to turn them into hopeless obsessives (like Pinball) they will
actively attack you and post in any groups you go to.  

So if I go to say alt.politics and flame someone, you can bet that
while they see me as a troll all my obsessives will go ahead and
attack me anyway.  This chaos will in turn cause the readers of that
group to join in as they can't very well filter out literally dozens
of people who are trying to attack me, and thus starts some major
damage.  

I mean just look at what I've done so far.  Have you ever seen a troll
in the history of Usenet that can cause so much response?  The trick
is that people hate looking stupid.  Even more than that they hate
being made to look stupid by someone they've accused of being a kook
or what not.  I lure em in with a kooky past, and then when they're
firmly in my grasp I backlash on them in ways the can't even begin to
imagine.  Being made to look stupid by someone with such a colorful
past as the one I've created is enough to throw them into a posting
paroxysm.  I have other trade secrets too, but some things should be
kept a secret.

Hatter hopes the international space staion will be hit by a large
rock shattering it into billions of tiny pieces wich will then shoot
off and smash into all the satelites, etc, etc, until we have a nice
debre field of tiny pieces of metal cascading all over the place, thus
making space flight off the planet impossible (unless we come up with
some fancy new shielding).  `, )
