It looks like the company that sells MagiClick has some
online "forums", some of which correspond in some not-clearly-specified
way with Usenet newsgroups. So I conjecture that their "Palm
General Talk" forum is set up so that postings to it turn
into postings to comp.sys.palmtops.pilot, with their little
bit of spam appended in the signature and with <me@xxxxxxxxxxx>
in the From field. So, despite appearances to the contrary,
what we actually have is not one idiot who keeps buying
Palm devices and never learns to use any of them, but lots
of individuals who presumably buy one each and do learn.
Either that, or we have a *really* stupid marketer on our
hands. :-)
