Hi:

Nah. There always have been and always will be trolls, loons,
disrupters, and nutcases posting on s.a.a. Ignore 'em, make fun of 'em,
killfile 'em, your choice.

A good guide to who's to be listened to and who's not? My observation
is that someone with something worthwhile to say posts under her/his
own name. People posting under "handles" are usually best ignored, as
there's usually a reason for them using handles instead of their names.


Usually (not always), the reason is that they enjoy acting like
jackasses and don't want their friends down at the local club knowing
that they are the ones making like idiots on s.a.a. Now this is NOT
always the case. We have had some valued "members" here posting under
handles over the years, but that's _usually_ the exception.
