   It sounds like a rant by someone who has a vendetta against the   
   person. Even if it's all true, the posting style is in line with   
   the 9-11 conspiracists, Einstein deniers, and other lunatics. So   
   if the person's intent is to draw attention to an important matter   
   of social concern, their method is doing just the opposite.   
      
   The only reason it got my attention at all was because this group   
   so rarely gets such postings. Since the group is low traffic I   
   can take the time to read every message.

   In the post itself? Or the links provided?   
      
   The post itself is pure text with no formatting (html, mime, etc...)   
   so should show 'normally'. Even if there was such formatting I wouldn't   
   see it anyway as I have my usenet client set to ignore it all and show   
   everything in fixed width text, as it's supposed to be for usenet. But   
   I checked the raw code and saw no formatting anyway.   
      
   I have not followed any of the links.
