no way to investigate based on that?
it's disgusting what they're doing.
Turns out, when I supposedly died alone, forgotten, and unloved by real-
life people who really knew me, four delusional souls showed up at my
pitiful funeral. My ex-wife and her brother and two weird and disgusting
slobs from Usenet.
That's what I get for being a complete and total asshole and underhandedly devoting all my life and time and efforts to harming new users of Usenet
who weren't "cool" enough to use a newsreader.
What a sad motherfucker I really was, looking back. I didn't realize it
then, because I am slightly mentally retarded, but I was a pretentious, overbearing, ostentatious, acrimonious, virulent prick whose main goal in
life was to prevent others from enjoying life online in any way possible.
Why should anyone else be happy if I couldn't be?
Only on Usenet would people celebrate that type of person and hold him up
as an everlasting symbol of honorable intentions and pristine values. In retrospect, I was right at home in these bloody, nasty, polluted, foul
waters of Usenet where a demonic character is celebrated as ethical.
