In decades on Usenet, my killfile still contains only single-digit numbers
of plonks (e.g., Joerg Lorenz, Alan Baker, Snit, Rod Speed, et al.).
Yet, it never ceases to amaze me what those people say (which I see when
others respond to their nonsense); but what's consistent is that all of
them claim to be on Usenet primarily for their own personal amusement.
They themselves admit they're not on Usenet to learn or to help people.
They're literally on Usenet simply to garner their own sadistic pleasures.
What's tellingly common among all of these uncommonly unprepossessing
characters is they literally scream out in their incredible joy   "*I FOUND YOU!!!!*"
much like the mentally handicapped children do when they find the Easter
egg left in the middle of the room, particularly for them to find first.
Those who post for their own amusement are overjoyed when they finally
figure out, after hundreds of posts, what was never even hidden.
The funny thing is that it's obvious in the body of the message.
In the body are the same images (exactly!) since I re-use images at times.
For heaven's sake, if the images don't give me away, what else will?
If I make a new image (such as this one yesterday), it's obviously mine.

How many of those does it take for these "I FOUND YOU!" people to figure
out what was never hidden in the first place in the body of the message?
I even have the same issues using the same privacy aware tools, such as
this NewPipe YouTube replacement due to Google screwing up IOS code.

If it takes Frank or Jeorg more than a split second to figure out that this
kind of purposefully helpful on-target immense detail (with links) is me,
then there's something wrong with them. It's sadly hilarious how incredibly smart they "think" they are, just like
those handicapped kids scream out when they find the not-hidden Easter egg.
