You are right! I really have no clue, but I keep wondering about things 
when I see posts like this one:-

Occasional coughing of server. Happens. Some people in and around Devon 
UK owning a long boat are very interested in this abnormality which they 
believe to be terrorist related. (inside joke)

*******************************

This thread ("Strange Pop-up")on U2U is where first I picked up the 
"pop-up" error message which is shown here:-

http://i36.tinypic.com/30caxe0.jpg

and which I posted without any detail in the test.here newsgroup.


So what does all this mean? Well, to me it means that the persona known 
as Peter Foldes is monitoring (maybe even controlling?) the test.here 
group and is monitoring everything I do. The real question is *why*!

That's a rhetorical question really, but comments are welcomed!
