Author What is Dan Tex1's Contribution to NG's
Gerry Thomas

2004-07-03, 8:56 am

I've just surveyed one 'Dan Tex1', the anonymous handle of a frequent
poster to comp.lang.fortran and sci.math.num-analysis, usually, it would
seem in a vain and futile attempt to harass and troll me in particular. Can
anyone cite a specific post of 'Dan Tex1', the gutless anonymous poster,
where he actually made a useful contribution to a ng poster's request for
help, guidance, assistance, etc., or is he, as I strongly suspect, a
useless kibitzer who, aside from personal trolling, has nothing to offer to
either comp.lanf.fortran or sci.math.num-analysis.

After about 10 seconds' googling, I find e.g.

<20040704015203.12194.00001134@mb-m01.aol.com> in comp.programming
<20040704012521.12194.00001131@mb-m01.aol.com> in comp.lang.fortran
<20040630223707.03820.00000552@mb-m19.aol.com> in comp.programming
<20040417225408.12870.00000060@mb-m12.aol.com> in sci.math.num-analysis

which all appear to be intended as useful contributions.
