Are you aware you cross-posted your reply to alt.war.vietnam, soc.veterans,
and alt.politics? We have a troll who's cross-posting to totally unrelated
groups, for the apparent sole purpose of dragging off-topic conversations
into this newsgroup, to kill it.
Please don't take the troll's bait but, if you feel compelled to respond,
don't cross-post multiple groups. Responding perpetuates the problem;
cross-posting exaggerates it.

Thanks.
I'll bet those two were one-and-the-same person.
Post a follow-up article under one name, log-off then log-on again as the
other person and reply to your alter ego.
These poor folks really need to get a life.

Didn't know what dizum.com was, so looked it up on Google. For the benefit

These anonymous remailer services legitimize and enable the dregs of society
to regularly perform the on-line equivalent of yelling "FIRE!!" in a crowded
theater.
There's only one thing I can think of that would make it worse: Letting The
Government<tm> try their hand at a fix. God help us. Don't feed the trolls.
