    I know that we all find his behavior annoying and obnoxious, but most of
    us don't even see his posts due to our kill-files.

    What we _do_ see are all the follow-up posts complaining about him, and
    these are not so easy to filter out.

    So _please_ exercise restraint and don't respond. Trolls _thrive_ on
    attention, and responding to his posts just encourages him to spam even
    more.

    Damn- I thought my dad died a few years ago. I say this because he is the
    only person I would listen to such an attitude from.

    Go play in the traffic. This is Usenet. Don't like it, don't use it.

    I think he's playing you with that map, since you've said you were in
    Colorado. His headers seem to indicate he posts from Qwest in Minneapolis.
    I assume the only connection he has to Boulder was the one that hit him in
    the head when he was young.

    Or maybe he's using his 1,800 mile range *FREE* WiFi (that Apple
    pioneered first).

    Yeah- you're probably right. I never found him amusing enough to trace the
    headers. Although he does sound like he'd fit right in at the Peoples
    Republic of Boulder.

    Navas is a troll. Don't feed it and it will go away.

    That's the problem. He keeps coming back no matter what. And lately,
    he's been posting some mediocre pictures in the photography newsgroups,
    giving photographic advice, and telling everyone how great his mediocre
    camera is. The guy is a bona-fide pain in the ass.

    Anything to save yourself the embarrassment of being shown to be full of
    hot air, right Steven? How sad. The real troll here is of course you.

    Oh, please. You are just slightly below our new moron, Oxtard, in the
    degree of you cluelessness.

    His behavior in r.p.d. echoes his old behavior in the alt.cellular
    groups. He never provides references for any of his amazing
    fabrications, every product he has purchased, no matter how poor, is the
    best, and he's using his same collection of content-free one-line
    responses when he can't respond with anything useful. Fortunately, it
    didn't take long for everyone to realize how clueless he is, but in the
    beginning there were people trying to engage him in rational discussion,
    which is something you can't do with Navas.

    At least he's not changing his identity several times a day like the
    other troll in rec.photo.digital, so he's easy to filter. What's not
    easy to filter is all the people that for some reason feel compelled to
    correct ever mis-statement he makes, or that actually respond to his
    one-liners with their own insults.

    I guess we should feel fortunate that he apparently no longer is
    spending his time shilling for Cingular/AT&T and is content to post
    charters that don't apply, and incorrect information about phone chargers.

    Aside from the editorial composition and WiKi format, the core
    information is "googled" from knowledgeable sources.
