This thread is so trolled... The original troll post isn't on my server
or on Google, but Andre Plotkin responded by cross-posting to
"rec.arts.books.tolkien, alt.battlestar-galactica, rec.arts.sf.written,
rec.sport.pro-wrestling, alt.fan.harry-potter" which seems to indicate
the original cross-post troll target. "Evil Sideshow Bob" then responded
to rasfw and rspw. Winston Smith kept those and added rasfwrj to your
annoyance. You then replied to his response and kept all three groups.
Message-ID: <e7q9pe$2ja$2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> is indeed on google, and
seems to have been teh original msg. it was already crossposted

That was not the original message, it is Andrew Plotkin's reply to the
original one, as I wrote about above. I still can't find the original
message on Google. However, you can see the *traces* of it by going to
this URI: http://tinyurl.com/mn8gc
Notice that there is a message #1 in the thread seen in the tree view on
the left, but there is no way to get to this message, only the responses
are available. By scanning the responses in original format we can see
that the Message-ID of the original post should have been
<1151379207.945120.212700@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (unavailable on
Google, even though it should have originated there!) and the poster's
email was given as kevvvo@xxxxxxxxxx We can take the email address and
check out his profile at Google Groups - <http://tinyurl.com/p9oe9> -
which tells us that he has been active for 2-3 months and posted 27
messages, mainly to the rspw group. It seems his posts have run into
some problems though, since searching for them only shows a total of 7
posts in 5 distinct threads. Perhaps more troll posts that have been
deleted. Here is one of his older troll posts,
<http://tinyurl.com/rr5mx>, being cross-posted to rec.sport.pro-
wrestling, rec.games.roguelike.nethack, alt.politics.bush, alt.politics,
alt.sports.basketball.nba.la-lakers...

most crosspsots are ill-advised. The ones with which this thread
started are obvious trolling.

Agreed.
