I will not reply to them. I just hope Richard (and others) checks the
headers and realizes I'm not the one posting *those messages* under the
NYM
"Koi-Lo."
======================
I agree. A change is in order. When you carry out your "not
responding", that includes not sending the "I did not write this"
message. If there should ever be a need for you to prove harrassment
or whatever, you must have plenty of proof in saved messages already.

I have some saved of course. But it's *ongoing* so I must make sure one
here and there are "marked" as time passes. I need not mark all of them.

And if all of our readers would take a second and check the headers
when they come across a message that doesn't sound right, then we can
carry on with the business of talking fish.

Exactly, but not everyone knows how to do this or wants to bother. That's
what the trolls depend on.

I don't know how to check
headers in the programs most people are using, but in my Agent, as
well as Free Agent, depressing the "H" key brings up the headers, and
pressing it again disappears them.

For those using Outlook Express you RIGHT click on the message, click on
PROPERTIES, then click on DETAILS. There you can see who sent the message,
sometimes the ISP, the Newsserver involved, the trace, the message ID, the
news-reader the person is using and other details. Some trolls carefully
hide all or most of this information through proxies, remailers etc.
Not all newsservers show the person's ISP. In fact many now hide that
information for reasons of privacy.
