Well you can always put him in your kill file if you like or just don't read
his messages. Now if he was putting binaries ont he group then I'd moan, but
I don't expect everyone to read what I  gibber and others hopefully feel
much the same.   At the moment talking about it is twasting far more
bandwidth than the original complaint!

(top-posted because replying to Brian Gaff)

Brian, the probable reason you haven't seen at least some of the spam is because the idiot posted the URL *as the subject* -- an incredibly dumb thing to do on Usenet, as it's a 99% accurate "this is spam" indicator, and for this reason the help files of Forte Agent actually tell you how to create a kill filter to auto-trash such messages (as probably do the help files of other newsreaders).

I replied to one of his posts to point this out, and his reply (by email, a long time later) was "what's Usenet?". :-) Truly a totally clueless idiot...

is he a real person? I'm getting senselessly long emails from him (to the cgc email) and I thought it's a spambot.

I don't even know where to start with answering that...

If you believe someone is persistently hacking into your computer you
should contact the police.
Of course if you are just blaming your low connection speed on some
paranoid fantasy about teams of hackers employed by evil service
providers then you'd just be wasting police time which is also an offence :p

P.S. it's considered rude to reply directly to a poster, please click
"reply to group" or whatever the equivalent is in whatever you're using
to read Usenet.

It's an article explaining what Usenet is... You're the one who asked.

Well, well, well, that's not the way to request help now is it? lol

I got the same mail again today, it got 157 attachements and about 20 youtube video links. Most interestingly, the header of the mail is:
"crap games why not focus on new good ones
seen rtype cpc new version yet?"

I'm filtering the e-mail now, as I don't want to waste my 3G quota with this again...

if you want to see what's it containing:

it's spam afterall.

Ah, the user "rogerjow...@gmail.com" is already gone.. Hmm I didn't know if this is possible on usenet.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone had taken offence to his abuse and
reported him. I didn't do so, but I did post google's abuse report page

Sintech.

[1] Ok, I know German isn't a race but you know what I mean.

I think nationalities are technically counted as "races" for the purpose of assessing hate crime.  At least, that's the way it was 15 years ago when I used to do voluntary work for a charity which no longer exists.

Interestingly [citation needed], at that time it used to be that it was hate crime to discriminate against someone on the grounds of their being (say) a Sikh or Hindu, but not on the grounds of being a Christian, Moslem or Buddhist[1], because the latter have members of all races and the former do not; it was also not hate crime to discriminate on the grounds of being Rastafarian (provided of course that there was no demonstrable racial component) because although Rastafarians are almost exclusively Jamaican, on the other hand it's not a legally-established religion, at least notc in the UK.

[1] OK, I know that Buddhism is non-theist and thus technically a philosophy rather than a religion, but most people don't draw that distinction.

The quoted reply from Spam MI6 Persecution Coupe Jowett explains a lot (as does the fact that it's been deleted, at least from Google Groups, which is why I'm having to quote it indirectly); clearly Roger-Everybody Jowett is not only an idiot but an ill-mannered and semi-literate[1] one as well.  No wonder Google have got as fed-up with him as the rest of us.

[1] For the record, "wont" means habit ("he corrected the other poster's errors in English usage, as is his wont"); the correct contraction of "will not" is "won't".  As far as I'm aware, there's no such word as "dont".  This is why punctuation was invented.

And he should save his ridiculously-overpriced bandwith by not wasting it in replying to me by email (in breach of Usenet etiquette, as others have pointed out), because I'm not going to waste mine by reading whatever rubbish he's sent.

And verily, didst Guesser <alist...@alistairsserver.no-ip.org> hastily babble thusly:

Maybe someone got so annoyed with his bullshit they tracked him down and
posted a firework through his letterbox which coincidentally flew INTO his
PC?

He's now resurrected a six-year-old thread (having missed it when it was first posted when he was four or five years old?) asking for a Sam Coupe manual.

Incidentally, does anyone on this group have a Roger Jowett manual? :-)

And verily, didst korax1...@gmail.com hastily babble thusly:

Alas, legend has it that there is only one half completed copy of this book,
for the author in attempting to translate the wibblings was driven
completely insane and sadly ended his life by plugging his brain directly
into a spectrum and typing "CLEAR".

Rumour has it that the book is now secured in a vault lined with lead and
buried in a pit of lava where it no-one else will ever be able to read it.

Who's he? Certainly not me as my nick starts with a capital G.

If you were using Google Groups (as I'm having to do at the moment) you would see that this is the same person as Roger Jowett, aka Spam Toupee, klp2, or whatever other nick he's using this week -- he changes nick more often than his underpants.[citation needed]

Strangely, when replying by email he still goes by Roger Jowett; I know because he today sent me such a missive despite my already saying on this group that I wouldn't be reading any such.  Hence, it's been reported as the spam that it is.
