Is this guy psychotic or schizophrenic? One minute he's saying one thing

Look at the message headers. They are clearly from different origins.
Almost certainly the apology was a hoax.

I'd look at the poster IP data in the header to see if I could match it up
to any other newsgroup regular (out of curiosity...I wouldn't report them
for the fraudulent use of Usenet, not in this case ), but Google Groups
doesn't show that part of the header, and for some odd reason posts from
" aren't being downloaded or stored by my news
reader.
