No problem, and that is a nice thing to do.

People are just warning you and the other groups who see this for
Skybuck, who probably never grew up. He thinks he is a genius, he does
not take advice, he is very gratuitous with insults and he is a pest to
every group he infiltrates. He never reads documentation and thinks
everything he finds is a great new invention of his. IOW, he is an
extremely vitriolic, dumbass troll. But he is not a newbie.

While striving to be overly polite about Harald Houppermans, you
forgot to mention his unbelievable trolling persistence and only
hinted at his uncanny ability to remain the perpetual newbie.

I enjoyed your use of the word 'infiltrates' as a particularly
accurate and insightful observation. ;-)

Things are nice since he entered my killfile but he still plies his
trade suckering good people..as he always will.

He's in my killfile as well, but sometimes I catch the fallout of his
presence in the form of replies to him. <g>

Not at all. I admired the amount of work you put into that
and I tried to express that.

I was merely trying to let you know this guy's posting habits.

I don't think there's much to be done about that - I'm in that same
boat. :-(
