I would put money on it Si ( I don't think he missed many UK. groups either)
but now he will have to find yet another ISP/news-service wonder how many he
is blacklisted on now? at least we will get a bit of peace and I get a warm
glow which is nice.

Again....
He's now using another news server.....

www.altopia.com, this time.

Abuse department notfied. Newsdemon have a special auto responding form
they send out for complaints about him.

What we could *really* use is a link to his IP address.

Read altopia's AUP.  AFAICT the pack of cnuts are unlikely to do anything.

The news admins for the better servers seem to take less than a day these
days to block "emm-eye-5 mike" and his ilk, whether through abuse reports or
simply spotting 5000 messages arriving from the same source.  I know
Individual (used to be cis.dfn) do - I'm fairly sure the KF filter I have is
out of date and not doing anything, yet 90% of the emm-eye-5 stuff I see is
reposted by some other twat who hasn't (presumably) got the excuse of a
psychiatric disorder and is simply a twat.  If no-one responded or reposted
it, just quietly ignored it, it'd occupy a good deal less net-space.  It's
like playing with trolls, although I admit we do that in the shedde if we
get a live one, sometimes :-)

and I reckon you should lay off the bloke.  I don't suppose he asked for
whatever's wrong with his head.  I wish he'd take the medication though,
it'd make life easier for him as well as everyone else, but presumably
that's his decision and it's not really morally sound to force people to do
something 'cos it's good for them.

Sorry, but thats the kind of thing that leads to seriously ill people
being released on the streets to kill, in case we offend their rights.
He should take his meds because its good for him AND us.

I've seen no evidence the MC is a danger to anyone.  People who are a
significant danger to others should be restrained for everyone's benefit,
I'd agree with that.  But spamming the internet about emmeye 5 isn't exactly
harming anyone, really.  And if people didn't respond all over the place,
the impact would be minimal.

Yup - a bit like HMRC saying that "there is no evidence" that the discs have
fallen into the wrong hands.

No, and no evidence that they haven't either.

I take Austin's point, though - if we start curtailing people's freedom
because they *might* harm somebody, in the opinion of one or two medics,
then we at the start of a very slippery slope.

What do you mean "start" - its what we used to do for three hundred years.

and in a large variety of cases it wasn't justified.

Possibly by the standards of medical care at the time, it was.

*If* it was the occasional message or he kept the same sender ID, I'd be
happy to live & let live or just set an ignore filter for him (As I do
for a couple of other annoyances on some groups), but at the moment, he
is (Or the people reposting his drivel are) generating 80% plus of the
new threads & messages on all the groups I subscribe to & he's morphing
IDs & subject lines faster than I can add rules to the KF. He & a couple
of others are directly responsible for a number of people ceasing their
use of usenet, according to items posted recently.

This stuff turns a couple of minutes spent reading informative, relevant
and/ or entertaining posts into a long slog of reading headers for &
dismissing a load of irrelevant stuff to get at the nuggets of useful
information.

Even with all possible consideration for his mental problems, he is
single handedly making usent almost unsuable.

Just my thoughts.

I wish he'd f.ck off! I'm sick of him and his type.
