I too thought about a "RIP"message. This newsgroup was founded to
investigate the possibility that Princess Diana died as the result of a
conspiracy. It quickly turned into a group for true believers. People who
didn't buy the conspiracy theories were disqualified as "s***" or
"hecklers". Despite "b. anana's" initial intentions, anti-conspiracy
posters
were ordered to leave. Neil, "Dear Maxie", "Researcher Reed", Laura and
others didn't want to debate their theories. If they had paid a little
more
attention and had thought for themselves instead of listening to the
orders
Neil sent them via private email, they could have reached the correct
answer to the conspiracy question. But they didn't. It is rather sad. Not
one conspiracy theorist has had the guts to tell the NG "I was wrong". Ron
keeps theorising about the 13th pillar, but he (she) acts alone.

I think that Neil read the Paget Re****t and concluded that not even the
mighty "banana" could save the conspiracy story. In his warapped mind his
opponents were "not bona fide". It is clear now that he was not bona fide
and that he mislead people for years. He talked a lot about decency, but
he
doesn't have the decency to admit he had it wrong. A decent person would
apologise for his vitriolic outbursts, but the good doctor went into
silent
mode.

Agreed, he was a figure of fun, but he was also malicious. Maybe he found
finally a job. Let's hope his boss will find out what utter ***** he has
produced.
Good luck with the hacking!
