   He is also responding to a year-old post, which does not make him look   
   any better!   
      
   I can't figure out Julio - I wonder if it is two people using the same   
   account.  Sometimes he makes appropriate posts - polite enough and   
   on-topic for the threads, and generally contributing to this (and other)   
   newsgroups.  And sometimes he makes posts that are just random swearing   
   and accusations of spamming.   
      
   I've had a few people plonk me over the years, as the result of   
   long-standing disagreements or character clashes - that's fair enough.   
   Anyone is free to read my posts and free to ignore them.  But I have   
   never spam-posted, and his "plonk" posts came out of the blue.   
      
   And I can't imagine any justification someone could have for plonking   
   /you/, or Ben - as Julio has claimed to do.   
      
   Well, I guess we've all met stranger characters on Usenet!
