Awww, isn't this nice. Victor has gone the way of name lames. How
sweet. I guess I have to leave Usenet now.

Is it possible to translate that last sentence into English?

But that has no effect on subsequent posters who post the quoted
material without that bit being set. Hence, despite the prohibitions,
anything to which I reply is permanently archived.

Do you typically look down your nose at everyone you meet. Victor.?
You keep speaking up, giving these little lectures as if your friends
are too stupid to acquire this knowledge on their own. Downright
insulting, I'd say. However, if they are depending upon you for their
security information, they have much to worry about.
