The same thing is happening on another uk.local newsgroup. All the
fingers
point to one person, but I have a feeling that it is someone else because
the postings contain 'little clues' in the manner of his script and

The person I believe it is, is/has been associated with computers for a very
long time. I only punch the keys and don't have a clue on the headings,
paths, ISP's etc to be able to read the true ones from the mangled and false
ones. I post from one ISP and always use the same name. I 'know' that this
person, (well 99.9999% certain), that this person uses other names and
signatures.
