The initial post in this thread did not seem like a malicious troll.
There must be something wrong, though, since I didn't see it, due to my
killfiling that other group.

I don't know how many news clients warn about cross posting. Mine
doesn't. Mine also fails to warn me about logic errors in my posts.

It seemed to me that you jumped on Serene quite hard for trying to help
someone, although it's hard to tell the intent of a post on a newsgroup.
Perhaps you were just trying to be helpful, but it didn't come across
that way to me.
