Just play along. None of this will happen.
Which would be worse�Kif you had to switch to an Android phone�Kor if you got
to keep your iPhone, but had to admit Arlen is right about everything he
said?
Arlen who?
Arlen is some guy who is well educated and who has been on this newsgroup
for decades. He came here once, long ago, to ask for help and a bunch of
iKooks fabricated imaginary functionality much like the lemon juice bank
robber assumed that disappearing ink would work and yet it clearly didn't.

As Dunning & Kruger's interest was piqued when they realized this person
truly thought the strange things he did, but based on absolutely zero facts
(only what he was told), this rather intelligent Arlen guy (who has a lot
of old textbooks books they say) studies why the strange people on this
newsgroup act the peculiar way they do as it's behavior not found on the
Windows, Linux, or Android newsgroups to always defend the mothership to
the death - even to the point of brazen lies about imaginary functionality.

Just wait... he'll show up soon I'm sure... but if not, rest assured he'll
do a fact check on each and every far-fetched claim the iKooks manufacture.

Indeed. A true pathological iKook obsession.

Indeed. A true pathological iKook obsession.
I saw a post from him today on the ipad battery health status.
It was pretty detailed. Screenshots. Links. Analysis results.
The whole works.

Here is the message id.

Would you kindly point to one of your own posts that has that kind of Apple
information which is relevant and useful to those of us on this ng?

Or are you here merely for your own childish amusement?

Interesting how the "posting-account" infor matches this:

"Injection-Info: paganini.bofh.team; logging-data="3866009";
posting-host="sZAbjFs/LMCY+DW79pTGzQ.user.paganini.bofh.team";
mail-complaints-to="***@bofh.team";
posting-account="9dIQLXBM7WM9KzA+yjdR4A";"

Which is from the post you just made...

...Arlen.

Don't you think that's interesting?

may I call you el stupido?

every post from anyone using that same newsserver matches that.
it hasn't changed in the ten years since that server started.

look at every post from that server in news.admin.peering or
news.admin.net-abuse.usenet or alt.checkmate or alt.usenet.kooks or
alt.slack or any of the tens of thousands of usenet newsgroups.


take it up with the news server admin if you don't like how Ivo runs his
news server authentication process.

Here's what you can say to Ivo.

From: el stupido <***@stupido.com>
To: Ivo Gandolfo <***@bofh.team>

Hello Ivo Gandolfo, admin of the bofh server.
I am el stupido and I don't like how you do your headers.

Signed,
el stupido
