To everyone in these newsgroups: the troll that has plagued you for some time now is David J. Tholen. Tholen is a notorious Usenet kook who has won KOTM once (March 1998) and Clueless Newbie of the Month *twice* (in February 2003 as himself -- despite being on usenet for at *least* five years by that point -- and again in April 2009 as "Seamus MacRae" as an ELEVEN year Usenet veteran).
What does your information about the tholenbot that invaded from comp.os.os2.advocacy have to do with Lisp, Calvin?
Tholen has been active under a wide variety of aliases for over a dozen years and is recognizable by a distinct pattern of OCD-like ritualized responses once under attack. He has a few such patterns, one of which is the "what does X have to do with<newsgroup topic>/classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim" most closely associated with his real-world identity. Then there's the "[insult deleted]"/"none of the nasty things" pattern, and others.

Tholen is not actually a reply-bot, but he might as well be one. The only recourse with Tholen is your killfile. If you want Tholen to shut up, do not reply to Tholen.

This will be my only post to this thread.
