Canonical list of Questions Alan Connor refuses to Answer

These are the questions that Alan refuses to address. Asking these questions may get him to label you a spammer or, even worse, an incarnation of Sam...

  1. Why are you afraid of posting to alt.usenet.kooks, or alt.asshole.alan-connor?
  2. If your Challenge-Response spam filter works so well, why are you munging your address, when posting to Usenet?
  3. If spammers avoid forging real E-mail addresses on spam, then where do all these bounces everyone reports getting (for spam with their return address was forged onto) come from?
  4. If your Challenge-Response filter is so great, why don't you use it?

  5. Do you still believe that rsh is the best solution for remote access?

  6. What is your evidence that everyone who disagrees with you, and thinks that you're a moron, is a spammer?
  7. What is your evidence that everyone who disagrees with you, and thinks that you're a moron, is a "troll"?
  8. How many different individuals do you believe really post to Usenet? What is the evidence for your paranoid belief that everyone, except you, who posts here is some unknown arch-nemesis of yours?
  9. How many times, or how often, do you believe is necessary to announce that you do not read someone's posts? What is your reason for making these regularly-scheduled proclamations? Who do you believe is so interested in keeping track of your Usenet-reading habits?
  10. When was the last time you saw Bigfoot?

  11. If your C-R system employs a spam filter so that it won't challenge spam, then why does any of the mail that passes the filter, and is thusly presumed not to be spam, need to be challenged?
  12. You claim that the software you use to read Usenet magically identifies any post that makes fun of you. In http://tinyurl.com/3swes you explain that "What I get in my newsreader is a mock post with fake headers and no body, except for the first parts of the Subject and From headers." Since your headers indicate that you use slrn and, as far as anyone knows, the stock slrn doesn't work that way, is this interesting patch to slrn available for download anywhere?
  13. You regularly post alleged logs of your procmail recipe autodeleting a bunch of irrelevant mail that you've received. Why, and who exactly do you believe is interested in your mail logs?
  14. How exactly do you "enforce" an "order" to stay out of your mailbox, supposedly? Since you issue this "order" about every week, or so, apparently nobody wants to follow it. What are you going to do about it?

  15. What's with your fascination with shit?

  16. You complain about some arch-nemesis of yours always posting forged messages in your name. Can you come up with even a single URL, as an example of what you're talking about?
  17. You always complain about some mythical spammers that pretend to be spamfighters. Who exactly are those people, and can you post a copy of a spam that you supposedly received from them, that proves that they're really spammers, and not spamfighters?

  18. Why exactly does it matter which specific name one uses for posting to Usenet?
