Anthony William Sloman is the name on mine. You are an anonymous troll, just like Darius the dumb, and just as unreliable - which is to say, frankly incredible.Whatever. The fact is I only have one identity on Usenet where as you have at least two on this group alone.
Progess on marking spam.

Because it's my real identity I can't do anything about the labels. You are free to claim that you have only one identity on Usernet. but since it doesn't link back to anything in the real world - published parers, IEEE membership and the like - it's just a claim. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney
