I have only a casual interest in chess. I don't follow your NGs.
As a disinterested observer of The Fake Sam Sloan Saga, I had
suspected there was much more to the story than the "Mottershead
report" suggested. If the guilty parties named in it were also
competent to use remailers, why did they commit many elementary
blunders to permit themselves to be easily, conclusively traced?
That dog doan' hunt, as I once wrote.
Monitors I placed on all rec.games.chess.* postings came up with a
strike yesterday. There are three posts, all of them responding to
c956ef6c-346c-44df...@pj4g2000pbc.googlegroups.com
and quoting the same chain of posts as the reference.
The texts of all three posts are identical except the one sent via
Google has as usual the email addresses munged. I quote them with
non-relevant and non-evidential headers omitted :

Remailed posts take some time, even some days, to travel through
the net. But non-remailed posts take only a couple seconds, so :
Post 1 was sent via dizum remailer before Thursday 23:50 UTC
Post 2 was sent via dizum remailer before Friday 00:36 UTC
Post 3 was sent via google from 72.94.51.59 and Google posting-
account OKbuhQoAAABjSdgayfKrqhY-ZPljLPvg on Friday 17:52 UTC
Further, as the message prefix f83c644550bd617db3e522bd94f3b5ea
was the same for posts 1 and 2, they are one and the same post
sent with two final-hop remailers before Thursday 23:50 UTC.
The sender of post 3, "None" <
joesc...@gmail.com> is identified
by the posting profile as being someone with the improbable but
apparently real name of Stan Booz (Mr).
There is no doubt about the authenticity of post 3. It cannot be
faked. Recall that the content of all three posts is identical.
Also, a check with Google showed that "Are you just completely
unaware of what an asshole you are?" has never been used before
in the net - we can rule out coincidence as explaining things.
I see for certain that both the remailed posts were sent before
Mr Booz's post. So, it cannot be a case of the remailer user
mimicking Mr Booz's post. Unless a sci-fi time gate was used.
There are only two conclusions which are even remotely possible.
The first possibility is that Mr Booz wrote all of them, or knew,
and knew before Friday 17:52 UTC, who wrote all of them and knew
what the posts contained.
The second possibility is that Mr Booz was deliberately mimicking,
could be ironically, the two remailed posts but was otherwise
unconnected with them.
This second possibility, in light of the legal consequences, is
surely unlikely. Also, I have read in Google that Mr Booz is an
ex-marine and identifies remailed posts with "Charlie". I read
that Mr Booz has often suggested that the sender is a person of
Vietnamese extraction, is not liked by Mr Booz, is not someone
with whom Mr Booz seeks association and is considered by Mr Booz
to be almost as bad as Mr / Haji / Ismail / Samuel Sam Sloan.
So why would Mr Booz wish to emulate him?
Googling for Sam Sloan Stan Booz yields up some posts where Sam
Sloan, before Mottershead, speculated that the FSS was Stan Booz.
Even one post where Sloan was "certain". Sounds like Sloan was
right on the money.
There is no question but that Mr Booz is very, very smrat (R).
Therefore I think the 64000 dollar question is, did Mr Booz make
a careless mistake, did he want to be caught ((c) Sloan), or ..?
Should Mr Lafferty, Mr Kronenberger or anyone else desire more
details, reply to this post in the NGs and I will read it and
may respond.

Instead of thanking me, could you chessplayers do me the good
turn of stopping your local village idiot, Mr Gordon Roy Parker,
from giving both privacy and anonymity services a bad name with
his ridiculous lawsuits, stupid posts and threatening emails?
Pardon me for not signing, but I doan' have a dog in this fight.
The sender address is non-replyable.
exit, stage right!
