    Congratulations! You just gave a troll exactly what he wants.

    We've had Usenet trolls for nigh on 40 years. Yet for reasons that
    pass my understanding, legitimate posters still haven't grasped the
    simple concept that reposting trollery -- in fact, _any_ recognition
    of a troll -- only adds more off-topic crap to the newsgroup.

    their own pretend forum sites.

    Like this guy:
    <https://www.electrondepot.com/rpi>

    His 'feed' is coming from comp.sys.raspberry-pi. Irritates the living
    hell out of me since he's not mentioning his source and I'm tempted to
    leave a message on the newsgroup. If the process is automated it'll be
    up on his website for a while.
