And you are a Rudy forgery - this was NOT from David Hartung.
why is he posting on usenet
Jonathan Ball has used Usenet for various purposes, including posting
under multiple aliases (nyms) and engaging in discussions where he has
been accused of arguing with himself to feel triumphant. He also used
Usenet to discuss his academic background, at one point claiming he had
not completed a Ph.D. program in economics at UCLA, but later finding
his own posts in Google archives where he had stated the opposite. Additionally, Jonathan Ball started a thread on Usenet with another
user's home address. Usenet, created in 1980, functioned as a
proto-Reddit with newsgroups for various subjects, and while Google
Groups no longer supports new Usenet posts, historical content remains viewable. The decentralized nature of Usenet and its initial lack of
oversight attracted people to post a wide range of content, including discussions, advertisements, and even pornography.

Why did he use so many aliases?
Jonathan Ball used multiple aliases, or "nyms," often to argue and
defeat himself in a bid to feel triumphant. One source also suggests
that another alias, "Benfez," might have been Jonathan Ball, and that
this incarnation was a "welcome improvement" in behavior.
