Quite why Mister X would post as Peter or Judith depends on what was
happening back then and I don't know the details. It doesn't help
that Simon's rather skewed account of those events (in which Simon
needs to be portrayed as the victim) can't be relied upon.


Here is the post where "Judith" admits sending the letter to BP which
then turned up at work a few days later signed by "Peter Grainger".

This was "water under the bridge" a few hours earlier; make your mind up!

Bah, and indeed, Humbug.


All of this is brand new to some people though.

ps. I sincerely hope that Simon does not mind this speculation that we
are engaged in (if you wish, Simon, say the word and I will desist
forthwith).

I don't really care about it as it was nearly a decade ago now and the protagonists in the case all failed in their attempts to get me into trouble in any meaningful way. All water under the bridge.

Good. (By the way, I know I've got some things wrong, Simon, you think
this 'Peter' poster was 'Judith' and you must know far better than I).

It must have caused quite a stir in ukrc at the time to still be
remembered and talked about nearly a decade later. And you must play a
leading part in the history of this news group.

I have been here since urc first started in 1995.


That's a wealth of experience in this group.

Judith first turned up in 2008 because of this incident.


"The foray which led to my bet on the long thread when I first visited
here, was as a result of me being told by a colleague they had
visited uk.rec.cycling as part of some research project and had
observed "an unusual strata (SIC) of newsnet society".

This is an example of what I mean about my finding usenet far more
involved than I thought it would be. (...and I like the highlight of
an incorrect use of a plural word).

Incidentally, there was a nice mind-expanding bit in that linked
thread when one of the posters, Toom Tabard, comes out with the line:
"I could be a group of psychology students doing a project for their
dissertations." It had never crossed my mind before that one poster
could actually comprise of more than one person.


Whilst I have had that impression about (some) subscriber accounts in
other NGs, it has never seemed to me that it happens in ukrc. It is
rather the opposite he certain individuals using various names and
pretending to be multiple people (not always successfully).


It's good to have the ability to discern that kind of thing. I imagine
the more experience of usenet you have, the more chance you have of
enhancing your ability. Everyone wants to know, or at least have a
good idea, of what is happening around them.

I also notice your required skills may be slightly different according
to which NG you are in. It all adds to the interest, though, and I
find there are plenty of worthwhile posts to be found.

In summary it seems you provoked some posters into complaining (using
one method or another) about wasting time and company resources.

As I understand it there's no evidence of an investigation and nothing
came of it.

Is that more or less right?


The only outcome was that I was forced to take proper breaks and post to
urc during those periods. I retired on my 56th birthday in 2014.


It ended well and you didn't experience any problems. Good.

Cyclists in this group have taken the side of the father

scooter or skateboard and fell over after being unable to
slow down for a couple on the footpath? Would they still
think she and her father was in the right?

Perhaps the cyclists can get you for libel with your claim "that
they have taken the side of the father".

Simon has alleged the man committed a public order offence. Simon
also provided own false testimony. See:

It's pointless making a link. If there is something you want to bring
forward just copy and past it. Not that it's relevant.


Wake up, duh! The link show the origin of what I quoted. I hope
you're pretending to be thick and that it's not natural.


I know what a link is. I know it's irrelevant. I also know that you
refuse to acknowledge that your comment at the top was not accurate.


Let e hold your hand and go over this. You wrote:

In your haste you failed to notice that in actual fact I had done exactly
that.

Don't trip over your shoelaces in future.
