    With a name like Pointed Ears

    _PointedEars_ is my _nickname_, obviously.

    you would know of course, right?

    I know that logic dictates that in newsgroups on astronomy such as alt.astronomy and sci.astro there is more than one of them. So it is not logical to suggest that one is the only one by choosing that as one's pseudonym.

    You tryin' to be Mr Spock? Well you can't, I am!

    Impossible. Spock would know not to crosspost to 3 newsgroups without Followup-To using an invalid From header field -- not violating the Prime Directive aside ;-)
