Every January 1st, I change the moniker on all my accounts for privacy.
Maria Sophia <mariasophia@comprehension.com> is what the moniker is now.

The rest of the headers are completely random from dictionary lookups
(as my "newsreader" is actually a bunch of scripts using telnet & gVim).

I'm not "hiding from you". I change nothing but the headers. Hence, if you can't figure out who I am in less than about ten seconds based on what I
write and how I write it and how I post excellent research often backed up
by detailed annotated screenshots & photos, please don't exclaim a thousand posts from now that you finally eventually figured it out - as when you do
that - it's absurd you think I'm "hiding" from you.

Just put me in your killfile because anyone saying that is someone who has nothing to offer because if it's that difficult for anyone to figure out
what is never hidden, then you have no right to exclaim you're a genius.

Donald, why do you have to lie incessantly? Especially when it's so easily refuted. This you posing as your "Andrew" moniker on 3rd Jan 2025 https://rocksolid-eu.pugleaf.net/groups/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/articles/197566

Plus, if only changed your nym once a year it would be great. You don't, however, and regularly subtly change your email address to evade killfiles.
Or maybe it's more evidence of your incompetence that your scripts don't
work as reliably as you think. Just like the unicode to ASCII converter.
lol.

Your privacy argument is also proven to be ridiculous as you can't even
achieve the basics with your router. Remember you told us Apple couldn't reproduce your "discovery". A clear example of PEBKAC.

Maria Sophia <mariasophia@comprehension.com> is what the moniker is now.

This is just a desperate attempt to get a response and probably an
embarrassed reaction to you posting over 3x as much as the next person according to badgolferman's stats.

This being over the christmas holidays. You really don't have a life, do
you?

The rest of the headers are completely random from dictionary lookups
(as my "newsreader" is actually a bunch of scripts using telnet & gVim).

Which often render incorrectly because you create invalid headers. Plus,
you cannot keep track who you're responding to and regularly get it wrong.

Ordinarily that would be a long time, but at your rate of posting, it's

It's very obviously the opposite. You are intentionally doing this to draw attention to yourself.

There are many famously anonymous people who never need to change their online/offline personas.

Just put me in your killfile because anyone saying that is someone who has nothing to offer because if it's that difficult for anyone to figure out
what is never hidden, then you have no right to exclaim you're a genius.

What this does achieve is make it almost impossible to search for your

their previous unsupported claims and lies.

My response moments ago to Frank pretty much covers how I feel about it.

For decades, I have responded to others exactly as they respond to me.
If you're respectful of me, I'm always likewise fully respectful of you.

That promise extends to everyone. It always has been that way.
The newsgroup benefits from all of our technical contributions.

For example, we answer questions, we test apps, we test out Google's and Apple's WPS systems, we suggest modifications, we write tutorials, etc.

We all add value to the technical knowledge level of this newsgroup.

All that greatly added value is not found in the header, but in the body.
Like a gift is wrapped, where the value isn't in the pretty wrapping paper.

While the privacy goal is to munge the meaningless headers, if anyone can't figure out my posts in ten seconds, they have no business being on this ng.

The privacy goal is to be harder to find by robots, not by actual people.

Hi Tyrone,

Happy New Year!

Some of us add more value to this newsgroup than all the rest combined.

Interestingly, I'm the one who told the newsgroup about battery gate.
I'm the one who told the newsgroup about iPhone efficiency ratings.
I'm the one who told the newsgroup about Apple's WPS system operation.

Hundreds of threads a year, I author on this Apple newsgroup, explain how
iOS actually works.

Now, you won't find me touting the latest Apple propaganda, and you won't
find me touting that I stood in line all night for the first chance to
ditch my old phone for a new one, and certainly you won't find me touting
the 8 new emoji that Apple' marketing wants to tout, nor the colors.

I won't be a cheerleader for Apple's glass that is not glass, or metal that
is not metal, or security that is not security, so, in that regard, I'm not like the typical Apple poster to this newsgroup who parrots propaganda.

But I likely add more technical value to this newsgroup than most others.

My give of value is not in the wrapper, but in the technical details that
the rest of you learn, and which we can all discuss, together, as adults.

You do realize I know iOS better than almost all of you combined, right?

Hence, putting me in the killfile does two rather useful things for you:
a. You will never be exposed to how iOS really works, and,
b. You will never improve your learning of how iOS works.

With that in mind, plonk away as what matters to me is what I can teach
others and what I can learn from others, in this (and every) OS newsgroup.
