it's ever been something of a mystery why some of the most respectable
usenet server administrators (ditto for remailer, m2n, relay operators)
can engage "them" in what appears to be, albeit perhaps unwitting, one-
sided conversation...such is a frequent occurrence in other newsgroups

it's conceivable that casually "playing along" with nefarious entities
is only part of many perils and pitfalls confronting servers operators
that could be unavoidable in this global soup of political correctness,
which thus far has tolerated the existence of usenet's free expression
