[OT]Who is rm? (REALLY!!)
Bonzodog
of posting on this group, I can't help wondering just who the fsck rm is.
It occurs to me that he is very probably English, and very well educated,
as his grammar in his post is very well enunciated. I would picture him at
about 35-40 years old, as I feel he comes across that way in his posts.
I think it would be nice for him to come out of his little shell, and tell
us all a little bit about himself, including his real christian name. Most
of us regular posters, who have managed to earn ourselves just that little
bit of respect, have come out of the woods in past postings and revealed
just who is behind the various slack boxes out there.
So, rm, resolution for 2004 - tell us who you are, where (roughly) you
come from, and earn yourself some respect. Offer up some useful advice to
newbies, and try to be a kind and thoughtful person on this group.
Also, at least give out an honest mail address, as hiding behind smoke &
mirrors is the only thing that leads me to suspect that you could actually
be a stateside HaX0r script kiddie. I mean, come on, using The California
Dragon Boat Association as a mailing address?
And, finally, rm, Although I respect your one man mission against pgp
users, as I agree they do take up unwarranted amounts of space in posts,
anybody who has the tiniest bit of space in their brains could easily get
their news client not to display it. I just don't let it annoy me, and try
my best to read the actual post.
Have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone.
Simon.

i think you're quite mistaken. rm does not give a hoot about pgp. he is
looking to annoy people and get attention, and pgp happens to be a way of
doing that.

I have a college diploma and two degrees, including one in Computer
Science. And I am Canadian. I was born in 1953. My first
slackware install was in 1994 or 1995. I can't remember the
version.

My real name is not important as it will not change anyone's
opinion about me one way or the other. In any case, my real name
has been out there for more than a decade.
But I will tell you what I will do. I will refrain from bitching
about pgp over the Christmas holidays. Hopefully, we will see an
abatement of the unwarranted use of pgp over that period.
There is absolutely no excuse for the proliferation of inline pgp
in this ng. It doesn't exist in other groups and it seems to have
caught on here as some sort of faddish anal gadget available to
those silly enough to use slrn.
The reason pgp is not widespread is because there is no reason for
it. It is ugly, makes posts hard to read and harder to edit in
replies, and nstes bandwidth and nobody likes it. The use of
inline pgp is a violation of usenet netiquette standards. It does
not in any way prevent "forgeries" and the only freedom it curtails
is that of the pgp user. The fact that many of you object to my
complaints about it does not change the fact that pgp is
unwarranted, hugely unpopular, and a pain in the ass.
I will withold my legitimate complaint about pgp and, in good
faith, I hope to see a commensurate reduction in the unwarranted,
netiquette violating, inlining of pgp.
We'll see who acts responsibly in the future.
cordially, as always,

in the end, however, it's not the rules that make usenet to a great
resource, but people. and in this NG, the people that use pgp-signing
contribute a lot more to making it a valuable resource than rm with his
incessant whining.

and whether they are or are not violating accepted standards of usenet
netiquette, it does not justify *you* violating accepted standards of
usenet netiquette. two wrongs don't make a right. at least the pgp-signers
in this group have the common courtesy to not change their From: header
every week, which means that those who do not wish to see their bandwidth
"wasted" by pgp-sigs can killfile them easily. you, on the other hand, make
it very difficult for those who do not wish to be bothered by all your
complaints to killfile you because of your continuous morphing. not
morphing is *also* an "accepted usenet standard".

I would also suggest that when you send to sympatico that you:
1) Quote the relevant section of their ToS/AUP policy that states
no harassing users or groups.
2) Either one (or both if you're inclined):
a) Include a series of his posts showing the harassing nature of
his posts.
b) A series of google links that point to said articles.
3) Ask that they (sympatico) enforce their policy.

btw - This is the purpose of a charter/policy. When enclosed with

Perhaps if pgp wasn't free you would be a bit more careful about
how you use it. Not only is your use of pgp unwarranted, but it
violates usenet standards of netiquette. Please show some respect

You certainly don't need pgp either. And yet you continue to

Perhaps the blank screen is the result of inlined pgp? As you

I thought about that, but don't like the idea, some other slacker might
be using the same ISP, AFAIK no-one(sp?) is currently, but that might
change.
Plus, I have him KF ATM, I just thought I'd just point out the flaw in

It might be easier for all involved, bandwidth-wise, to just include the

killfileable? :-)

I don't really know if I need to escape the dollar sign or percent

wonder how effective this would be... and how much the Message-IDs

I'm not sure, but I did compare a few(3-4) of them a while back, and
the only pattern I noticed, was after the '@' sign, so either I was
totally blind, or they did change, too bad I don't have that file lying
around anymore. Since there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my
eye-sight otherwise, I'd guess they changed somewhere, for the better
I'd guess now that there is at least a KFable pattern.

While I agree bandwidth would have been saved, abuse desks are
swamped with reports. The entire articles were placed in the post
as it was also mailed, thus saving the abuse desk personal the
task of looking up each reference.
As an aside, I have been asked by abuse desks to not include links
as forgery is an issue. This way they can see the copied material
and look it up in google themselves to verify content.

Like the rules against morphing to avoid killfiles, Alan?
So, let me get this straight, Alan: it's okay for someone to stalk rm,
following up each and every post he makes with something like:
"Doesn't your constant morphing and use of someone else's existing
domain interfere with your complaints about pgp? We request that you
show respect for the newsgroup in the future."
I guess that's the kind of newsgroup two (or one?) trolls would want.

It is hard to believe, but this was a question over on uk.comp.os.linux
too, and someone offered the following id. which I seem to recall was
suggested recently in this group.
Roger Maynard AKA Realto Margarino AKA Rance Mullininks etc. Scourge of
rec.sport.baseball for over 10 years.
Not that this tells us who he REALLY!! is of course.

Heheheheh.. Sorry, Roger, I wronged you.. You're not boring ALL
the time.. This one is a classic. 'cordially, as always' HEHEHEHEHHE!
Are you a jerk?
Do people hate you?
Are you no fun at parties?
Well! Come to the ROGER MAYNARD SCHOOL OF CORDIALITY!
We can teach you to be 'cordial' with the best of them! Use
such time honored 'cordiality' techniques as:
1) Calling people assholes!
2) Comparing them to viruses!
For advanced students:
3) Comparing them to DIRTY viruses. What is a DIRTY virus,
and how can you tell it from a clean one? We know,
and here at the ROGER MAYNARD SCHOOL OF CORDIALITY,
we can teach you to know, too!
HEHEHEH.. Thanks, Roger.. This made my evening :-)

I have just found a post in that website about Roger Maynard dated 20
April 1993!!
And I quote:
"-Valentine
(No, I'm not going to be cordial. Roger Maynard is a complete and
total dickhead. Send me e-mail if you insist on details.)"
hehe....sound familiar anyone?
It appears you are right, he ravaged rec.sports.baseball for a good 10
years. It appears we have a serial troll on our hands.
Ideas anyone?

Right, have just spent another 10 minutes digging around google, Have
found a post from rm AS roger maynard, complaining about not being able to
join a mailing list. this one is dated 25 jan 1993. I think we have found
his real name, a rough idea of who he is. He's fluent in french as well.
50 years old, lives (or possibly lived) in Canada. I am going to try
digging through the archives looking for accidental user info left exposed
to the web about him. I know it's him in this earlier post as his mailing
address matches the later troll post. I think laurentian is a
college/university in Canada. I wonder if he actually has a web page up?
nah, too much to hope for.
So rm is Roger Maynard, 50 years old, living in canada. And serial troller.

Probably from Toronto
Real name probably Roger L. Maynard, but he's also used:
Ronald L. Matthews
Reichart L. Mark
Randy Myers
Rupert Murdoch
Rudy Meoli
Roy Mountain
and some non-names like "Realto Margarino"
Despised in rec.sport.baseball
Despised in alt.sports.hockey.nhl.tor-mapleleafs
Despised by the list admin at plaidworks.com, who tries to keep him
unsubscribed despite morphing.
Kicked off the Maple Leafs mailing list for trolling (which he proudly
proclaimed in alt.sports.hockey.nhl.tor-mapleleafs on 11/29/03 in a thread
that otherwise died in 1997)
Who is he really? Who the fsck cares? He's persistent as hell, but
eventually nature _will_ take its course, and it seems highly unlikely that
the genes have been passed on.

The Cambridge Online Dictionary says 'no one' (although I don't see any
reason why it can't be hyphenated). Admittedly, I keep forgetting how
to spell it and end up alternating between 'noone', 'no-one' & 'no
one'.

I could find enough examples of it to choke my local listserver, which
would be a bad thing.
The confusing and downright *wrong* (avoiding use of the"l" word)
"advice" you often give constitutes abuse as far as I'm concerned.
Telling us that "pgp interferes with [varies]" is not only abusive but
could also be deemed to be misleading, and can only be assumed to be
intentionally misleading on your part. If you're going to complain, at
least do it without trying to lead the unsuspecting into making false
assumptions. You devalue your argument when you don't stick to the
facts.
Merry Christmas to all (who celebrate it), and to all a good night.

You're right. A simple Google search of "pgp interferes with" pulls up
enough examples to prove my point.

"Realto Margarino"?

I heard there is yet another bomb.... even worse than the MOAB. It has
his own guiding system. Sort of a release and forget type of thing. It
searches out masses of people autmagicly. Builds up tension like you
never seen before, and in the end you kill yourself.
It is called the "Mother in Law of all Bombs"
