I'm not aware of any other than Dj prefers DJ which is not a legal name
in the U.S.  My first indication that he seems to have taken offense
was when I posted some years ago that I figured out how to use DJGPP and
CWSDPMI together to create a Windows 98/SE like OS.  He was very
upset and irritated in the thread.  After that, he has attacked me on
nearly every post, despite the fact that my posts and Rugxulo's are
about the only informative posts here anymore.  But, it's clear that he
doesn't seem to be interested in revealing the actual source of his
anger, as he's had numerous chances to do so.  Instead, he chooses to
attack and initiate arguments while holding a grudge.  Immature.

Sorry, that was an unfortunate typo.  That should've said
bottom-posting.

Yes, but RFC3676 says no such thing, and the majority on Usenet only
use the signature block for a message.
