Yes, the name is familiar.  I recall he did post here, and a google 
search of uk.singles shows many post by him or references to them.  I 
don't have strong memories of him, though.

Well, I thought so, but a "Big Bad Bob Brenchley" is trolling in several 
oldies groups along with a few others.   Could be a munged address, I 
suppose.

Dunno- he spent a fair bit of time in my KF, especially after his "Thatcher

I can't see a lot of difference between them, TBH- except that Thatcher was
an honest fascist, and Bliar pretended to be a socialist.  And Thatcher had
more balls.

He was my "best man" at my second wedding.
It was me wot told him there were groovy people here.

I think still posts to some news groups, but I also know that some 
trolls use his name as he made many enemies because of his "determined" 
views.

Thanks Nev.    He is certainly taking part in a Troll raid on a nice 
friendly seniors group along with a few others, cross-posting to uly etc 
as usual.

Some are dumb enough to respond and acknowledge their presence.

I rather think we scared him away by debunking some of his crazier

Interesting!

Maybe someone using the I/D.    There is a lot of impersonating of 
genuine posters going ion in there, which I'm ignoring.
No point in rising to the bait.

Well, he gives his address as "@btconect.co.uk.org" which of course in
invalid - I always give a valid email address (it is spam trapped by
spamarrest.com but if people verify themselves they can always get
through to me).

Added to that he is not using Agent to post, I've always used Agent
ever since that nice Mr Nev introduced me to it /years/ ago.

I'm afraid so.      One of the other contributors has been impersonated 
also.      Most of the troll threads have been cross-posted, so I don't

Part of the problem is that I've stood up to trolls too many times in
