Check the Newsgroups line: this is a standard Xah "cross-post to
everywhere in sight" troll.  Hence (a) bringing up Xah, since he
originated this thread, and (b) livibetter not thinking to trim the
crossposts.  Which you didn't either, I note.

The only downside to killfiles is that you have to pay attention or
you sometimes get bitten by this stuff.
