Solution: don't post drivel.

(tinfoil hat on)

You *think* it's one solitary usenet user, when he's in fact the *only*
one with a problem with X-N-A that *tells you*. The thousands (!) of
others simply ignore you. :)

BTW Mike, I make tarballs of all the posts that arrive at my little news
server. I don't honour X-N-A either. (I just tar up all the files in
the spool directory.)

If you want to *ensure* your posts don't get archived, don't post.

Now watch, as I gpg-sign this post, using my real name.
