S/h/it (unsure of gender or if bot) is a rampant irrelevant crossposter.

server administrators probably benefit by discussing possible flaws
and potential improvements to their servers, so it makes sense that
they would be more amenable to what could be productive discussions
with any newsgroup participant, if the result means a better server
than before; this "big tent" pattern of sysadmins engaging everyone,
including obvious troll farm "regulars", is evident across hundreds
of newsgroups, a rather stoic and objective approach to interacting
with the public; "rfc" (e.g. http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5537)
seems like a bible where encouraging cross-posting and discouraging
what they call "multi-posting" in their collective view approaching
religious doctrine, papal bull (and yes, maybe some of these people
are actually religious, the holy roman empire is cosmopolitan after
all), is inviolable creed; as such, cross-posting must be protected
in spite of its massive abuse by troll farm operatives and geniuses
