I know its impolite to feed the trolls, but this is just too good to pass
up. Last post from me dealing with this troll, I promise.

Why would I want to remove my opinion from the archives? I said its a
crap idea, and thats my opinion. I have no intention of changing it.

With the same summary posted over and over and over again. Pointless
spam, after the first time. Its one thing if a message is very old, and
has expired on some news servers. You posted the same thing multiple
times in a period of a day or so. That qualifies as spam.
And 88% of a mostly dead newsgroup doesnt mean much.

How could anyone miss the subject? You've spammed it a dozen times.

Published worldwide, eh? I've heard similiar things. There was a lovely
story about a spammer who's business references were worldwide, very
famous, etc. But he was still a spammer.

Some of us use mail clients that dont have an option such as this. Oops,
I'm not a windows person, I use a text client, oh my! 88% of the posts
were in this thread, and it seems that 44% was you saying the same thing
over and over, and the other 44% was the regulars being irritated with
you. I'm a regular luker here, have been for ages, I just tend not to
post.
