Warning to new Posters



There is this individual on this newsgroup that finds it extremely hard to
be himself. He finds it necessary to impersonate other posters that have
creditability so his post will get by the unsuspecting. Most all of us on
this group know this person and what sick games he will play just to be
heard. Most of us don't read or answer this disturbed lunatic because it's a
waste of time. So The only way you can tell if you've opened his lunacy is
to check the properties of the post. Look very close because all he has to
do is change a period to a comma or some other small change in the address
that will be different. He will fraudulent use someone else's name but can
not copy their address.

It's a shame that he feels he has to do this but it is evident that he is
desperate to be heard. It is only one of many foolish attempts that he has
undertaken in the past couple of years. He just can not accept that some of
us don't believe he drives a truck or is associated with professional
driving. You don't need to do either to post here but what most of us ask
for is honesty. This is one of his major problems. So beware. Who you think
is posting might not be that person. I have chosen to minimize my viewing
window when opening one of his suspected postings to check the properties
and to date I've blocked over 25 of his postings without reading or knowing
what he is saying. Believe me it's much better this way.
