Erika, you are being trolled. This is a bad thing.
Targeted and trolled by someone who can't think up a nym of his own.
There are two using the nym hopper. Only one can, will and has tried
to help you.
The other is just trying to make you leave the group.
The "hopper" that has replied to you in this thread is not the hopper
that tried to help you in the Halloween thread with information about
Usenet.
Message-ID: <Ia3Qn.197174$ot7.178019@en-nntp-16.dc1.easynews.com>
Two quick left clicks of the mouse on this link will take you to this
message.
It doesn't make sense, does it?? That is how he works. Nonsensical
dribble that just confuses people.
You are using Agent. If you cannot see "headers" (information about
who has posted), press H and it will appear above the message text.
Toggling H will turn it alternately off and on.
For the FAKE hopper, you will see the following information in the
headers --
X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5512
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.5579
X-Complaints-To: abuse@teranews.com
This information WILL identify the idiot to you.
The REAL hopper would NEVER post using Microsoft Outlook Express.
Me either for that matter.
You will see the FAKE hopper is using my details in his headers as
well.
From: "hopper" <Pixie@AnnWheatley.com.invalid>
He has identity issues... he can't decide if he is male or female.
/shrug... he fancies me... but ... I am taken.... ROFL
How lucky for me... no time for idiots have I...
You have no reason to leave. The REAL hopper is trying to help you get
the most out of your Usenet dollars.
The FAKE hopper is trying to get you to leave.
Why?? Because that is what he does. Destroys groups. Our group is not
the only one he is currently doing this to.
Asking for designs is how designs get posted.
Hopper has been running a posting campaign to help newbs catch up with
older designs that have passed through group over the years.
Stay or go, it's up to you. But don't be "fearful" of staying because
it means learning about Usenet.
If you see the above information (Outlook Express and Teranews in the
headers and the Pixie/hopper indecision), then you know it is not the
REAL hopper.
If you read something that just looks odd, then you know it is not the
REAL hopper.
We all have to learn it, because trolling is one of the pitfalls of
Usenet.
If you leave, as many have done before you, then the FAKE hopper will
just turn on someone else and wear them down as well.
Stay, ask, learn.
Pixie :-))
