Now, *that*'s entertainment.
Red Drag Diva
Margarets Forest Pty Ltd is the name of the Perth company running a
spamhaus under an astouding variety of names. They're also whackamoles
from Hell. So Troy Rollo of CAUBE-au (http://www.caube.org.au/) decided to
serve a civil statement of claim on them for Aus$500 plus serving
expenses, as the first step in a thorough LARTing.
SCENE: Thursday 21st February 2002, 4:55pm; Level 7, 231 Adelaide Terrace,
Perth.
When you come out of the lift on level 7, you're right at the
receptionist's desk for all the suites on the floor.
Smiling receptionist. "Hello!"
"Hi!" (friendly smile) "Is Sally Kelly in?"
"Yes, just a minute ... Who shall I say is here?"
"I'm David ... It's personal." (concerned expression)
"Okay." (ring ring) "Sally? David's here to see you. ... She'll be right
out."
Sally walks out. "Hello ... er, do I know you?"
"I'm David Gerard." (I hand her the Statement of Claim.) "I'm serving you
this legal process."
(upset) "What is this?"
"A statement of claim against Margarets Forest Pty Ltd. I suggest you call
your lawyer. Have a nice day!"
Sally walks off, nice document in hand. I depart, with a biiig smile on my
face and doing an occasional jump in the air as I walk down the
street.
That was *fun*. Pity I won't be in Perth any time soon to do any more. But
everyone I've told about it went "*Really*!", and I think I'll be drinking
off this for at least the next month. It also impresses the chyx. So there
should be a suitable supply of spammer servers over here to pay them more
happy visits as needed.
If you are an Australian voter, go to http://www.caube.org.au/ and join.
Joining is free; the benefit of it is that we can say to politicians "We
have x signed-up members, and x of those are in YOUR electorate" when
we're doing lobbying.
We are also considering selling the opportunity of serving processes on
spammers. How to make a bundle on the Interweb Sooperhighway, indeed.

Splorf! What's the emoticon for insane jealousy? I'd say that she was
well served by you.

You utter, utter, utter Bastard. Sir, my hat is off to you.
If you want any help following this up, let me know off-list. Living in
Perth, I will quite happily screw them over for you, in person, as often
as needed.

I should point out that Margarets Forest Pty Ltd is not the well known
spamhaus themselves. There is evidence to suggest they are associated with
them, however.

[1] Which isn't very much, in the case of the S*n H*rald. When I was
down at the local fishing shop[2] yesterday, a fellow orker bought some
bait and the owner wrapped it in the S*n H*rald. Much swearing ensued as
the paper fell apart, and the owner told us that this particular
publication wasn't even good for wrapping fish these days.
I guess that begs the question: if a paper has no literary value and no
wrapping value, what can it be used for?[3]
[2] Not that I fish, and I certainly don't want to start any fish
size DSWs.
[3] I'm thinking maybe fire, and lots of it? Bonfires and Lusers? I
guess I should test its flammability.

I'm sure we'll all have a whale of a time.

Funnily enough, the mail server with which I replaced the Sexchange
server here is called halibut. It used to be a test web server,
before which it was a poor abused web applications testing machine
with 8 different installations of Windows and various browsers. I
should given it a new name since it was changing roles, but I didn't
want to spend time thinking of one. I'm quite intrigued as to where
this name came from. The naming scheme is San Francisco street names,
but given the size of that set there's supposed to be some specific
reason for assigning each name.

Well, of course. The point being that you'd test it on the lusers, in
which case that would hardly be a point of concern.

I know what the word in question is; I was joking on "raunchy".
Another way to derive the desired word is to lop the final consonant
off of Dogbert's original name.
