Then why the feck is he trolling? You expect someone with a PhD to have
grown out of that kind of playground behaviour.
(Hint: This is crossposted, I don't give a toss about kibology, I'm posting
from an entirely different group)

OK, Thanks for the warning, I'll killfile the arsehole from now on then.
Or just sit back and watch him make a fool out of himself without replying
further.

BTW, give me one good reason why I would know who this otto idiot is?
He could've been someone from, say, the usage.english newsgroup who knows
sod all about usenet's history OR computers (hence his stupid comment about
DOS/Windows not having grep)
