Look At These Fools

On Mon, 18 Apr 2005 23:06:01 +0000, Beavis pressed the "play" button again: You appeared to have missed the questions below - again. People will begin to think you have no answer, or at least the three of four who may still believe your drivel.

Having received several challenges in response to mail I hadn't sent, I'd be especially interested to hear your responses to #1 and #8.

But, since I'm in your killfile (again - it seems to leak, Alan!) *and* still posting using my exceedingly common real name, your telepathic system should prevent you from seeing this.

=============================================

FAQ: Canonical list of questions Beavis refuses to answer (V1.10)

This is a canonical list of questions that Beavis never answers. This FAQ is posted on a semi-regular schedule, as circumstances warrant.

For more information on Beavis, see:

Although Beavis has been posting for a long time, he always remains silent on the subjects enumerated below. His response, if any, usually consists of replying to the parent post with a loud proclamation that his Usenet-reading software runs a magical filter that automatically identifies anyone who's making fun of him, and hides those offensive posts. For more information see question #9 below.

=============================================

1) If spammers avoid forging real E-mail addresses on spam, then where do all these bounces everyone reports getting (for spam with their return address was forged onto) come from?

2) If your Challenge-Response filter is so great, why do you still munge when posting to Usenet?

3) Do you still believe that rsh is the best solution for remote access?

4) What is your evidence that everyone who disagrees with you, and thinks that you're a moron, is a spammer?

5) How many different individuals do you believe really post to comp.mail.misc? What is the evidence for your paranoid belief that everyone, except you, who posts here is some unknown arch-nemesis of yours?

6) How many times, or how often, do you believe is necessary to announce that you do not read someone's posts? What is your reason for making these regularly-scheduled proclamations? Who do you believe is so interested in keeping track of your Usenet-reading habits?

8) If your C-R system employs a spam filter so that it won't challenge spam, then why does any of the mail that pbuttes the filter, and is thusly presumed not to be spam, need to be challenged?

9) You claim that the software you use to read Usenet magically identifies that "What I get in my newsreader is a mock post with fake headers and no body, except for the first parts of the Subject and From headers."

Since your headers indicate that you use slrn and, as far as anyone knows, the stock slrn doesn't work that way, is this interesting patch to slrn available for download anywhere?

10) You regularly post alleged logs of your procmail recipe autodeleting a bunch of irrelevant mail that you've received. Why, and who exactly do you believe is interested in your mail logs?
