I'm taking a little time out here from the usual thread to mention
that as September and the return to college and lower schools season
starts, my thread has been heavily bombarded by a loony named
biofreak, who recently was joined by another loony named igor thoovler
at . To summarize:

1) biofreak specializes in quoting some presumably Islamic language
and calling me a cantelope and assorted other names (cantelope so far
is most frequent). Like most trolls and graffiti-artists on the
internet, he doesn't explain what he doesn't like about me or anybody
else. That would require Cause and Effect and knowing the difference
between Right and Wrong.

2) Igor thoovler has 8968 messages in 294 groups including ,
, .bush, , etc. In
reply to my Quantum Gravity post, he/she/it claimed to see from
reading my one post there that I wasn't in mathematics, physics,
probability, or any other substantial/substantive field. My
curiosity was naturally aroused by this "unnatural" claim, and I found
from reading quite a few of his postings that Igor has apparently
accumulated his 8968 messages in 295 groups by:

A) 1-liner replies to others
B) attacking people and not issues with no explanation
C) belonging to "idiotic" groups

I would ordinarily not comment on trolls and internet graffiti artists
(it's not advised for most people to reply to trolls because they want
attention, though biofreak appears to also be violence-oriented), but
Google has now for some reason decided to post people's latest replies
on the entering screen when an internet poster accesses ,
so for purely aesthetic purposes I'd like to clear my internet screen
of these creeps (Google allows the screen to clear when you reply!).
