   You can only sue for libel if you have been libelled and have categroic   
   clear proof. No one has libelled you, Troy. Not even Denebeim.

   I think you will find that many others agree with you. However, they wish   
   that *you* had a personal kill file that you could vanish into.   
      
   Troy, you could always try simply ignoring posts, you know. It's dead easy.   
   I ignore most of yours, except when I am bored and wish to kill an idle   
   twenty seconds.
