Hi misfit,

When you're on Usenet for decades, as I have been, you get to know how each
of the old timers handle the paddle.

For example, under any nym I could possibly devise, you'd know my posts no
matter what the nym, just as I know Rod Speed's posts by his signature
style.

In Rod's case, it's crystal clear by so many clues that it's not funny.
