I apologize for posting these, as I have been informed that they are
off-topic. I did not intend them as an advertisement at all, but I will
remove them from Google Groups and I am sorry for any inconvenience.

I was hoping people would enjoy them, or at least comment on them. I
realize they aren't to everyone's taste, but I figured they would be
worth a look. I guess I didn't really see anything more to say about
them after the first couple posts. Ah well, I'm a newbie to posting in
this group, hopefully I haven't made a bad introduction.

Whoever informed you is just being a jerk.

As fanfic, of a sort, based on an Interactive Fiction game, this is
clearly the right place for them.

I don't find them particularly amusing, but you're certainly posting
them in the right place.

Okay, that was me. Just so you all know.

I didn't object after one URL went by. However, five or six of them,
without any accompanying text or explanation or even a "hello", is not
Usenet conversation. Put up a website or something and post updates
there.

On the face of it, I didn't even know whether this was Infocom's
Trinity or the recent Wesley Snipes movie. I would have known if I'd
looked at one of the links, but then I would only have looked at one
of the links if the post had had some non-URL content.

Well, the subject line was, as it happened, an accurate description of
what the images are. Or at least the first five or six of them, after
which, *I* stopped looking, because I found them mildly amusing at best.

But he did tell us what they were in the subject, and each post did
indeed add something further to the catalogue of Photoshopped images
from the Trinity comic book. Not to my taste, but certainly well within
the bounds of rgif discussion topics.

Yes, I can see now why it might look like spam. 'Twasn't my intention
though, to be sure.

If no one objects, I'll just make one post at some point when the whole
series is finished, with all of the links in one place.

Let's see: 4 posts with identical subject lines, each contains a single
URL and nothing else, each time the hostname changes slightly for no
obvious reason, each time the URL path changes for no obvious reason, and
the image filenames all appear to be a series of random characters. I'm
surprised anyone *would* follow those links. I simply assumed it was some
kind of ridiculous spamming technique.

Please don't call him names, Adam. Behind every mental pathology case,
there's a real person.

Ever since he was fired from his metermaid job in the mid-nineties, Andrew
Plotkin has become increasingly frustrated. What happened was that one day
he decided to ticket all cars that looked like they hadn't been to the
carwash recently and by mistake (or intent; this is still hotly disputed)
ticketed the police chief's wife's car twice.

Plotkin still wears the uniform, but only when sitting behind his trusty
'puter, policing Usenet.



P. S. If anyone receives a letter of complaint from Plotkin, please forward
me a copy. I collect them.

Note same troll as the previous couple of trolls. Although at least
he's being creative now.

How about putting up a webpage with links to all the images?
