Which newsgroups should I be looking in, for snarking purposes? I notice that a self-described biology major has been stupidly annoying in one of the r.a.sf.* groups.

I've seem him posting on talk.origins, under another name, since at least 2008. On one thread he maintained, and nobody denied, that he'd been posting since 1995.

He's a fool, and pompous with it, but hasn't the excuse of youth.

Talk.origins is pretty happy with his absence.

I should check up on those Usenet groups. Just to check if some of the assholes I actively despised are dead yet. One can but hope.

You never really know. Some of the people you probably have in mind no longer post to rasfw, but whether they are breathing or not is another question.

One of the more annoying creationists on talk.origins seems to have died last year. I was surprised at the sense of loss some felt.
