Thank you again, Ralph. Sadly, that is indeed the
confirmation that I expected. RIP, Blinky The Shark, an
example to us all.

So someone really sick is impersonating him...

A pointless impersonation, as GG's access to Usenet has now
been disconnected... which was pretty much the aim of Lee's
UIP. So what's the point in pretending to be him now?!

It's kind of ironic, isn't it? I dedicated my life to preventing new
users from becoming familiar with Usenet because I have a very small penis
and it made me feel more like a strong man.

The irony, other than that my life's work amounted to nothing, is that
even though GG users were disconnected from Usenet, so was I, and a lot earlier than they were.

Life sure is a bitch, isn't it?

Blinky did not want to discontinue GG's *access* to Usenet for reading,
only to discontinue GG's *posting* to Usenet. Blinky defended Google
Groups as a an archive, loudly objecting to people doing (or even
discussing) things that would make posts unreadable on Google Groups.

-a*-a See this post, where Blinky wrote: "Why are you using XNA so that
-a-a-a any good information you might post is lost to those who might be
-a-a-a able to benefit by it?"
-a-a-a <https://groups.google.com/g/news.software.readers/c/OpmOep1Rv4E/m/4dZM0KPHQW4J>

-a*-a See this post, where Blinky described the "X-No-Archive" header as
-a-a-a "anticommunity".

The ghoul did not know this. The ghoul was so obviously a forger.

Right. I also don't want to prevent men from being able to urinate, I
just don't want them to urinate using their penis.

What a lot of cock. (Brit. idiom)

You very obviously intend only to insult the group and
the memory of a deceased member of the group.

Not only are you a troll, you're a particularly boorish one.
