How remarkably convincing!

I have a local newsfeed with posts in sci.math from February 23,
2005. That is about 37,000 posts. It include 12,449 posts from
Google groups and these have "Injection-Info" headers in them.

I extracted the IP address from each of those headers and then found
the associated host name.

Remarkably, there are only 12 posts (out of 32000!) posted via Google
from touchtelindia.net[1]. How about that?

Know what else? All twelve posts come from just two authors. Bet you
can't guess which two. Yep. Crankbuster and Bob Stewart. That *is*
a remarkable coincidence, I'm telling ya.

How would I know if you know me? I sure don't know you. You appeared
on Usenet shortly after crankbuster, posting from the same Indian
ISP. How could I know anything about you?

No. I haven't seen Cullinane's site.

I am writing because you people is nuts. Dragging this *** into
newsgroups and waiting patiently for a whole world to condemn
Cullinane while your sock puppets chat contentedly, complimenting one
another on their astute judgments.

That's a lot nuttier than most math cranks ever get to (not that I
know or care whether Cullinane is a crank).

But most sockpuppet-using loons are rather cleverer than our
touchtelindia poster.
