   You say that implying some sort of insinsinserity which doesn't exist.   
   You *know* who I am, I don't hide it.   
   (If I wanted to, I could, but that's not the *purpose*.)   
      
   *Nospam even knows where I _live_, for heaven's sake.*   
      
   In fact, you know more about me than I know about you, simply because I put   
   it in my threads.   
      
   However, while you are perhaps of one sock, I change my nym periodically   
   expressly to foil mass aggregators.   
      
   So, you use the coffee-shop model of Usenet, while I use the FAQ-model of   
   USenet.   
      
   That is, you apparently feel that one nym gains a personality that is   
   shared among threads, where I feel that a thread stands alone in and of   
   itself.   
      
   So, in "my" threads, there is always enough information to answer the   
   question, and that's usually a *lot* of information!   
      
   In your model, you it up threads willy nilly, whereas I don't do that.   
   Almost 99% of my posts are in threads that "I authored, whereas you're   
   quite the opposite. Almost 99% of your posts are in threads someone else   
   authored.   
      
   So, you use a totally *different* model, and that's fine.   
   But I don't deprecate your model because I don't understand it.   
   You deprecate mine, only because you don't understand it.   
      
   Think about that.
