Please consider NOT RESPONDING to this attempted thread. If you must, then
remove his tracking newsgroup and trophy case, alt.recipes.babies, from
the NEWSGROUPS line (or whatever it takes with _your_ newsreader to prevent
crossposting).  

Every month or so, using a fictitious name, this troll floods 5000
newsgroups (all cross-posted to one or more low-traffic but unrelated
"scorecard" newsgroups) with superficially relevant comments. The
purpose is to disrupt with off-topic crosspostings. Browse the
alt.recipes.babies newsgroup, his current score card, for the
"big picture" on the person you are replying to. Here are some samples
from previous spews:

He is known as the "anagram troll" because his fictitious names are often

Like all trolls, he means to annoy and disrupt. The tracking newsgroup is
the way he "keeps score" of how much damage he has caused. Don't put
yourself on display in his trophy case.

Google groups (the service the troll uses to post) has already expressed
that will not take action based on complaints about this type of behavior.

My apologies, too.  It was just too easy with it being an old AMC car model.

Go to Washington and stand outside the Senate.

Just leave some food out after midnight. I'm sure you'll see a whole bunch
of them to photograph.

I thought AMC discontinued the Gremlin years ago, and Daimler Chrysler
never picked it up when they bought out AMC. No?

A used car lot with a good stock of 1970's American Motors vehicles...
