Now, this is very rude of you! Here's the kind of thing I was talking
about when I wrote that you aim to hurt people on a personal level. You
are not meeting her arguments with this comment. You are posting her
name (misspelled, but still recognisable) in a newsgroup even though you
know very well that she does not want people to do that.

The person who posts the first post to what becomes a thread is known as
the "original poster". In this thread that person is you. That person
does not _own_ the thread.

llizard does not own any threads either.

Why should she? I don't see any need for such a "policy". If you apply
such a "policy" to what you personally post, well, that's between you
and yourself. If you demand that others should do the same and "stay
off" threads that you post to then, frankly, you do not belong on
Usenet.
