But whatever. At this point we all covered in mod from wrestling with
this pig.


Moreover, by not ignoring him, you have indicated to him that you are
'game' to be 'played'. He will be back, again and again. He has posted
several nonsense antenna idea on uk.r.a in the past, expect to see then
on here. No doubt he is cooking up others right now. Plus, he will
'recycle' the ones he uses from time to time, in the hope of stimulating
another pointless thread. I lost track of how many times how many times
his Big K nonsense was recycled, before he claim to have realised that
his K was a constant in the accepted maths. (It didn't 'tie up' with his
nonsense, needless to say, but that simply led to more nonsense.)

I don't understand why you label this thread as pointless as it has
stirred technical discussion that has evolved into an interesting thread
that I, for one, have learnt from and enjoyed reading. It would seem to
have been something that everybody had an opinion of but nobody dared to
mention. Seems that certain beliefs from various people were wrong, so
what? We all gain.

He frequents several groups and does the same thing in them.

The best thing is just to totally ignore him.

He will still post, still rant and rave, but you won't waste your time.

He has nothing better to do, the rest of us have.

It seems to me that he is between a rock and a hard place. You say that
your desire is for more technical postings on usenet but when one is
presented, you immediately try to shoot the messenger rather than
offering any useful input yourself!
