Getting in the habit of doing good deeds and getting good deeds done in general can help both your career and your personal life, now and in the future. Following rules carefully and thinking about the well-being and feelings of others is a good habit, too.

I want to add that the only rule that I follow (besides correct logic)
is treating others with empathy and benevolence.

Really? But you don't count people in newsgroups for that? Or do you
think your being benevolent and showing empathy when you repeatedly fill
unrelated groups with your incessant streams of misunderstandings about
halting? It's fair enough to discuss it in a group about computation
theory - that's where such discussions belong. But you have been asked
countless times to stop filling groups like comp.lang.c with your
completely off-topic nonsense - yet you go out of your way to do so.
That sounds far more like a petty, selfish and self-important character
than a benevolent and empathic one. Try following your rule here, and
perhaps people will look on you a little more kindly.

One way to look at it is that no one has to read his posts and I don't think he isn't harassing anyone or trying to communicate with people who have asked him to leave them alone. Of course the halting problem stuff is inaccurate, but why does it matter? Whatever servers handle Usenet posts can surely handle the file sizes.

Thank you for the pleasant feedback. I do what I can. Mission accomplished. (That's a joke.)

My post was altered, I said "is harassing" not "isn't harassing."

With this third post, I am now trembling in fear that I might look like I am spending a lot of time really focusing on Usenet posts. What will people think??
