I have seen this phenomenon take place many times on Internet mailing
lists. The simple fact that your name appears regularly will make you a
target, not matter what you say and no matter how competent, or not, your
are. It is apparently "normal" and is based on many people's inferiority
complex. Perhaps a trained psychologist/shrink on this list could explain
this in greater details.
At any rate it's not to be taken seriously.
