It isn't us that does it, we get some noisy interlopers known as Dead Elvis
and MOUL who randomly pick groups to add cross-posts to. At present, they
are picking on us in alt.ozdebate as well as alt.fan.british-accent and
alt.history.british - they have also picked on alt.fan.karl-malden.nose -
they eventually get bored and go away for a few months.

It will. I just ignore any thread that they are in. You can't killfile
people though as they change their headers to match others, but they get
away with it because they always have their sig on the bottom (therefore not
impersonation).

Wise move.
