You do realize that you're making it permissable for anyone to 3rd party
cancel your articles, don't you? If you don't include some unique content
to these individually prepared imitations of 'bot spew with which you insist
on deluging usenet then these people you so strongly oppose will have the
right to cancel your articles.

And I'm about at the point of telling them how.

If you're curious as to the veracity of my statements, I suggest you inquire
with any of the legitimate despammers in nanau. (I hope you knew you were
cross posting to news.admin.net-abuse.usenet.) Some of the more respected
members of this community include Chris Lewis, Andrew Gierth, Russ Alberry,
Rebecca Ore, Stephen Boursy and David Formosa. Please contact any of these
noted usenet experts for information or verification.

**Then they should all be cancelled as well, since I am merely
replying to their drivel.
Why is it then-- that when I asked a legitimate questionabout having
their interfenece stopped, all I got was idle threats and more
accusations------- yet when I reply back to the moron element, you
claim I can be cancelled?
That makes no sense---
Literally, what you are saying is that it's okay for them to flame me,
but not okay for me to reply.
That is censorship.

In other words, then you both are admitting to cancelling people's
posts BASED ON CONTENT right?
Now-- since you insist on spam not being taken into consideration as
regards content----- what YOU are doing is far mor censorial than
anything you have ever accuse me of diong.
There is indeed a double standard here----
I see the morons posting their crap, NEVER snipping lines from the
originals, and constantly posting mile-long bloody 'siglines'---- the
SAME EVERY DAY...
Yet-- you don't threaten to cancel their messages, do you?
If what you say is true, theirs would have been autobotted some time
ago, would they not?
Again, it's your double standard.
You speak of 'original content' ---- yet, I am snipping the crap, and
adding my own lines--- but you claim my posts are all repetition----
what about their constant repetition?
What about their constant, intentional crossposting?
Making up a set of rules for one is a very censoring thing--

Crossposting is good - it's not abuse of the net, like your multiposting.

¸ **Then they should all be cancelled as well, since I am merely

Once again, the articles that you call "drivel" are all unique usenet posts.
As such, they are not cancelable. Your rote responses to them are all
essentially identical, and appear to be written to set off spam detectors.

¸ Why is it then-- that when I asked a legitimate questionabout having


¸ their interfenece stopped, all I got was idle threats and more
¸ accusations------- yet when I reply back to the moron element, you
¸ claim I can be cancelled?

Because 3rd party cancels are required to be content blind. Even if
they are "off topic," whatever that may be, (no one has a working definition
that makes a majority of usenet posters happy,) there is no mechanism for
their legitimate cancelation. THAT would be censorship.

¸ That makes no sense---
¸ Literally, what you are saying is that it's okay for them to flame me,


¸ but not okay for me to reply.

There is nothing preventing you from replying with original, unique
articles save perhaps your own lack of imagination. It is only when
you repeat an essentially similar message over and over again that it
falls under the accepted definitions of spam and becomes cancelable.

¸ That is censorship.

You are not censored for saying something once. Under the current
system, you can cross post a single message to 399 different newsgroups
and still be under the BI>20 limit. But posting that same essentially
similar message to a single newsgroup twenty times is BI=20. This is
not about what you say, it's about how much of the communal news spool
you're taking up to say it. Some of your articles have a BI in triple
figures, Elaine. This isn't high abuse of the system, but it isn't
borderline either. You are clearly across the line and begging for
cancelation in many instances.

bullshit-- schoolkid. They ARE posting the same repetitions in the
absolute sense.
You're just lying to cover their asses.

>Crossposting is good - it's not abuse of the net, like your multiposting.

^^Uh huh---- when they post, it's crossposting, which is 'good'-- when
I post, it's multi--- pure BS
When I delete un-necessary header names from the addy lines, I preven
EMP--- but they, in turn purposely ADD 'em back in----- yet you praise
their tactics.....
When I reply to them , leaving the same number of header addies as
they had in the original, I'm supposedly multiposting.
You lie.

Oh, YES.
Your explanation sucks-----
I also asked Ballou to contact me by email, which on checking so far,

¸ In other words, then you both are admitting to cancelling people's

¸ posts BASED ON CONTENT right?

The only cancelations I have ever done to third party posts have been
'bot spew, with the exception of an idiot in alt.drugs.hard who cut
and pasted annoying articles for ten hours a day for over a week to
imitate 'bot spew, some of which I also canceled. Joshua didn't say
he'd ever canceled anything, only that he knew how. And to the best
of my knowlege, your own posts which are well over BI>20 have been
left alone. Legitimate despammers are very hesitant to use their
cancelbots, because any mistakes made by these automated programs
could quite unintentionally censor legitimate articles. No one wants
to fire up a cancelbot in the UPA and meower newsgroups to cancel
your BI>20 articles, Elaine. If you'd stop posting them I could go
outside and play with my tomato plants. But you seem to want to play
"whose dick is the biggest" with the meowers, and they're trolling
you into cancelation territory.

¸ Now-- since you insist on spam not being taken into consideration as


¸ regards content----- what YOU are doing is far mor censorial than
¸ anything you have ever accuse me of diong.

It's your choice to post the stuff, Elaine. I've never canceled
anything you've written, and all I've said is that if someone were
to start canceling it today then they would be within their rights
to do so. The reason I've said so, deliberately in threads that
you're participating in, is so that you might seriously consider
ceasing your newsgroup disrupting activities. YES I know others
are disrupting newsgroups, but they aren't doing anything cancelable.
Not only are they not doing anything cancelable, but your own actions
in replying to them legitimizes the meowers in the eyes of usenet
system administrators. If they see a newsgroup being bombarded,
but not replying to the newsgroup invaders, then they know who the
innocent party is. When they see you going toe to toe with the
meowers, they'll assume that you are eagerly participating in a
flame war, and that your BI>20 articles are abusive attempts at
flooding a newsgroup as a flame war tactic.

¸ There is indeed a double standard here----
¸ I see the morons posting their crap, NEVER snipping lines from the


¸ originals, and constantly posting mile-long bloody 'siglines'---- the
¸ SAME EVERY DAY...

That's because they are following the rules. Quoted material is
not considered in calculating the Briedbart Index, and neither are
.sig files.

¸ Yet-- you don't threaten to cancel their messages, do you?

They've very carefully (and responsibly) kept their articles under
the BI>20 limit. Threatening them with cancelation would be censorship,
and would have no support from the system administrators of usenet.

¸ If what you say is true, theirs would have been autobotted some time
¸ ago, would they not?

No. Not if their messages were all original unique content.

¸ Again, it's your double standard.

It's a single standard, it's called the Briedbart Index, and you
should learn what it is if you want to continue flaiming with the
big boys on usenet.

¸ You speak of 'original content' ---- yet, I am snipping the crap, and
¸ adding my own lines--- but you claim my posts are all repetition----
¸ what about their constant repetition?

Quoted material and .sig files are not considered when calculating
the Briedbart Index for any single message. As far as the BI goes,
they are NOT repeating anything. And not all of your posts are
repetitious, but many of them are.

¸ What about their constant, intentional crossposting?

The BI is skewed in favor of crossposting, as an article crossposted
to forty newsgroups is only stored once on each servers news spool.

¸ Making up a set of rules for one is a very censoring thing--

The rules were there before you started breaking them, Elaine.
Continuing to break them after you've been repeatedly warned
against doing so (and I'm watching my own BI here, heh heh) is
not likely to win you much sympathy in nanau.

**They are written with one thing in mind--- as REPLIES.
It seems awfully strange to me that THEY can post what they like, when
they like--- and waste all kinds of space, purposely crossposting, and
even re-adding in ng headers when I purposely REMOVE them to prevent
crossposting----- yet it's me you choose to squawk on about-----

**Fine--- then WHY are you carrying on about threatening to cancel
mine?
You are obviously admitting to checking up on content---- and I'm
sorry, but you're wrong-- my posts are NOT the same--- their contents
vary from post to post.
But you imply that by saying ROTFL! or WRONG! in more than one post is
EMP---- I ask again--- WHAT ABOUT THEIR CONSTANT USE OF STOLEN LINES
IN EVERY POST THEY MAKE?

My cure for it would be simple----- REMOVE ALT.ROMATH.

That's what I requested months ago---- but it never got done.
Remove the ng entirely, and I'll be happy---- so will you.
Not just from one or two servers, no--- but remove it entirely--- from
the internet.

> Even if

**Okay, I get what you are saying here----- in other words, if I
posted "Thank you!" once, crossposting to 399 different ng's, you say
that's fine, and I still have a BI of 20----
But-- If I post "Thank you!" in say, fifteen messages in the same ng,
Ive got a BI of 15, and that is where you'd be on my ass for socalled
EMP, right?

The thingI'm questioning is this:
There are many in the SAME ng---- who are posting the SAME crap in
their 3/4 page length 'siglines' ----- in EVERY message.
tweny-five, thirty messages easily in one day----- THAT would give
them A BI OF 25 - 30 accordsing to what you just said------
why do you not threaten to cancel THEIR messages?

You are threatening me, merely because you hate the fact that I'm on
to their game, and have been giving them a good run lately---
Fair is fair---- and you're being totally unfair by threatening to
cancel one, and not the other.

There's a world of difference between what we do and what Elaine has
been doing. We say things that are annoying to some people; Elaine
has been attempting to disrupt our group by flooding it with those
"drivel removed" messages. What she is doing is not much different
than the people who bot flood a.r.scientology.

>If they see a newsgroup being bombarded,
>but not replying to the newsgroup invaders, then they know who the
>innocent party is.

Especially when our articles are unique in content, and even on topic
for the groups they are crossposted to. And "invaded" really isn't a
very good word, since everyone has just as much right to post to a
group as anyone else. Just because the regulars of a group don't like
what they see from UPA's doesn't make it abuse.

Aside from the fact that NO ONE HAS CANCELED ANYTHING yet, you're

the Briedbart Index limit that is used to judge cancelable spam. I
personally have a strong distaste for the current system of 3rd party
cancels, but an even stronger distaste for people who deliberately
abuse the system as you've been doing for the last several weeks.

¸ When I requested info on thirdparty cancels, I did so for a legitimate

Which would have been censorship, which is why no one helped you to
perform 3rd party cancels. Just because you got YOUR panties in a
bunch doesn't mean that system abuse was performed. If you don't
like being incinerated, don't participate in flame wars. You're
every bit as guilty of harrassment as your corespondents, Elaine.

Right now all I've done is take the time out to explain current

That difference will be far more apparent when people get sick of
trying to be nice and explain things to you, and just start canceling
your BI>20 articles. I have a nasty feeling that eventuality is
what you're shooting for. You're deliberately trolling respectable
system administrators into canceling your spam to give you an excuse
for further system abuse.

They aren't BI>20. I've written you before, at the address you

I carefully explained to you the way the Briedbart Index is calculated

Not all of them are, but a large proportion fall under the definition

spam cancelation.

As long as a single unique article is posted to fewer than 399 newsgroups,

you!" or _variations on the same_ then the square root of the number of
newsgroups the article is crossposted to is taken, and added to every
other essentially similar article that ANYONE has posted in a 45 day

attempt at insulting me, so I am doubtful that you wish there to be any
peaceable resolution to this matter.

What gives YOU the right to post in a newsgroup and not anyone else?
I know that "Romath" is your nickname, and that alt.romath is a vanity
group, but gosh dab nabbit Elaine, naming a newsgroup after yourself
on usenet is just begging for a fight.

¸ I have purposely removed all manner of headers from the ng's lists in

¸ them.

If you DIDN'T reply to them, then the usenet system administrators
would believe you were the innocent party. What you asked for, having
the disruptive posts removed from a newsgroup to which you regularly
posted, has been done before. There are system admins who are very
sympathetic to the plight of innocent newsgroups being bombarded by
unwanted off topic postings. But the consensus that has emerged is
that if someone is replying in the flame thread, then they are doing
so voluntarilly and have no right to expect help in protecting their
newsgroup. alt.romath is globally propagated and is unmoderated and
open to all. If you'd kept your mouth shut and not replied, then yes
you would be in a position to ask for help from people in nanau. But
you didn't and you aren't.

You wanted to censor the people you didn't like in alt.romath, and you
went out asking for help in doing so. I emailed you, explaining why
that wasn't advisable and detailing for you the Briedbart Index, which
is the metric used in drawing the line for what is to be considered
cancelable spam. Since then, you have gone out of your way to break
the Briedbart Index limit. Now you're here playing dumb, claiming
that your deliberate system abuse should be ignored, but that the
posts of people you can't get along with should be canceled because
you don't like them. Either you're trying to play dirty and failing
miserably, or you really are dumb.

¸ > YES I know others


¸ >are disrupting newsgroups, but they aren't doing anything cancelable.

¸
¸ ^^How not? They are STILL using stolen lines, and constantly reposting

sig files are not counted when calculating the Briedbart Index. Maybe
you could write that down yourself on a postit note and stick it to
your monitor so I wouldn't have to tell that to you in each response.

And what are stolen lines? Are you refering to the quotes attributed
to yourself in these .sig files? Quoting publicly published material
falls under the fair use restrictions of copyright law.

It takes two to tango, Elaine. If you don't reply to someone, they
grow bored and go away eventually. If you flame them, then of course
they're going to stick around. They're trolls, for crying out loud.
What did you expect?

Crossposting is OK.

That's allowed.

You have the right to be trollbait if you want. You don't have the
right to spam, however. (And before you start squawking, remember
that spam only means the same thing many times. How many "drivel
removed posts did you make?)

>> YES I know others

Sig lines don't count. If they did, everyone with a sig would have
their articles canceled. And it doesn't matter what the content of a
sig file is.

Yes. It is physically impossible to crosspost to 399 newsgroups at

No you haven't. They've successfully trolled you into breaking the

obvious next step, to my way of thinking.

If they broke BI>20, I'd probably take this much time out to tell

No, alt.romath serves a very useful purpose. It is a gathering place for
people of unpopular or contraversial viewpoints. It's traffic is ten times
what it was when Doctor Watson operated a net-stalking discussion group.

Your mistake was creating the group in the first place. I know you're going
to tell us it was Vianet's fault and not yours, however if you had responded
civilly to the first scouts who visited your group, none of this would have
happened.

Your bad manners and aggressive net-copping brought this whole mess down on
yourself.

The other solution would be just to shove off. Disappear and forget
alt.romath ever existed. Change your name to avoid people confusing you with
our newsgroup. That would be the best resolution all round.

Best Wishes,

Pat

Dear Romath,
I'm going to tell you a little story. I originally found alt.romath by
following a post from alt.spam that was crossposted here. I was lurking
in alt.spam to try find information to help out a friend who has
children and whose mailbox is continuously deluged with pornographic
spam. I lurked here quite some time before posting. I just wanted to
find out how to help my friend.
I was stunned at what i read here. i watched as you and your followers
began to do everything that you claimed you were against. It was like
reading Mark Twain's story about Hadleyville. You have claimed to be
against sleaze [by which i believe you mean pornography], and threatened
to post pedophiliac porn in a group that bears Josh's name.
You claimed to be against spam, and busted the BI>20 as if it meant
nothing to you. You made sweet, honest, intelligent people [like Bunty]
stop posting. You posted the address of Josh's parents [okay, you left
out the last half of the street name. anybody with any knowledge at all
would find that no impediment at all.] Do you seriously believe that
noone here has your personal information? You have made it all very
accessible in the past, and on the internet the past is forever. Could
you possibly go through all of the posts from the last few months in
alt.romath and see it through the eyes of anybody else? I don't think
so, but please prove me wrong. It might restore some of my faith in
human nature that you have damaged.
Romath, your most common argument has translated into 'because i say
so'. Your most continuous tactic has been to try to shout down the voice
of any oppostion.
From the trolls, i learned the information that i came in search of. I
am helping my friend to install a freeware copy of Pegasus and set the
filters. I got a copy months ago, and love it. Thank you, Trolls.
Now, Romath, I know that you are going to feel the need to make all
kinds of derogatory comments because this post doesn't show you in the
best light. Feel free. This is Usenet. You are intitled to your opinion.
You are also intitled to ignore anything which I post, post any reply
you want, spout nonsense if you feel the need to, etc.... What you have
no right to do is to continue your abuse of the system.
I have the right to stick around and enjoy myself.

She was rude to me right from the get go.All I ever wanted to do

Now I'm really curious. Are you saying that these "invaders" simply
targeted your group for no reason whatsoever? Why your group in
particular? What did you do to attract such attention?

No, let's discuss it here in the newsgroup, so that your assertions
can be debated.

cu's post was an accurate synopsis of Romath's conduct. I stand by it

Actually, I believe that she and Postmaster were talking about telling
some people on some other ng, that they could post their pedophile
pictures in alt.fan.joshkramer. Which is odd if you think about it.
She claims to be against 'sleaze' yet would tell these people where to
post this stuff if it was to her advantage.

Yes, Bunty says in her goodbye letter that one of the reasons she was
leaving was because of Romath and Steve. She had earned the respect of
the trolls and there was a truce. (MY OPINION, Romath was jealous that
Bunty is respected by the trolls.)

Yep. She posted Josh's father's address minus a small piece. And
according to the post, you could email her and she'd 'fill you in,'
which from everyone's point of view meant she'd tell you the rest of
the address, though when she was confronted with it, she said that she
never said that and wouldn't do it. Because she didn't like the things
that Josh was saying on usenet, she decided to stalk his father in
real life.

Yes, on numerous occasions she says this is HER news group. She claims
she owns it. When anyone tried to inform her that no one can own an
unmoderated news group, she blows them off. I can only assume that the
people in alt.spam didn't like her and that is why she felt the need
to make her own group. Well she did it wrong, and now she's paying the
price. This group has no charter so it's a rogue group and anyone can
use it. If she wants to fight spam and sleaze, then she can do it in
alt.spam, that's what that group is there for.

Flame away Romath, but I'm not like Pat and Sergi, I don't have a long
history with you and you don't know much about me except that I make
little jokes here and there. A search of dejanews would show that
everything I wrote is the truth.

To clarify a bit, IIRC, Romath and Postmaster were talking about
telling some pedophiles that they could post their pictures in
alt.fan.joshkramer.

It means that she is spamming. She will post the same message over and
over, such as "**HA PUNKCO! Into the BOZO-bin with you." Or something
similar.

>How?

This I'm not too clear on. But in Bunty's goodbye letter in
arcadia.chat (correct name?) she says that Romath is one of the
reason's she is leaving.

This is true. She doesn't like Josh. So she threatened to call or
visit or write Josh's father in order to tell him what his son is
doing at college. First off, Josh pays his own way in college. Second,
Romath is taking usenet to real life. She posted all but a small bit
of Josh's father's address and told people that if you want the rest
to email her. She later claimed that she never said she'd give it out,
but that is what it sounded like.

As you saw, Romath denied everything. Now I haven't been around her
for more then a month or two, but I've seen that Romath has indeed
done these things. I don't know what else she's done and can't comment
on them. But everything that CU said Romath did is correct.

The trolls didn't cause the infighting. And there was a truce between
arcadia and alt.romath trolls. Bunty earned the respect of the trolls
here and they stopped posting there. You and Steve were listed as two
of the reasons Bunty couldn't take being in that group anymore.

So like you Elaine, you try to get people alone so that they will only
hear your side. You posted all but a small portion of Josh's father's
address just because you don't like what Josh posts. Josh is an adult
regardless of what you think, and he pays his own way in college, only
a heartless person would try to drag his father into this.

I fight porn that is posted on Usenet, or sent tyo people in their

Otherwise, I don't go looking for it.

First off, this is not 'her' group. No one owns an unmoderated news
group. Any one is free to post in it. Second, this is a 'rogue' group.
It should never have been made in the first place. If is was for the
purposes of spam fighting like Romath said, she should have used
alt.spam. Alt.romath has no charter regardless of what Romath/Elaine
says.

What she does to attract attention? That's a multiple answer question.
1) She doesn't know as much about spam fighting as she acts. This
pisses off the real spam fighters.
2) She hates 'sleaze' and tries to fight it by calling it spam. Spam
is the same thing over and over. Sleaze is content based.
3) She attacks those that know more then her and are only trying to
help her - example: Balloo. He's trying to educate her, yet she acts
like he's a troll too.

Yea, she tends to be evasive when she's caught in a lie. Yes, she
posted all but a small piece of Josh's father's address, and email her
and she'd fill in the rest. She later claimed that she was playing
word games and would never give out that information. At this point, I
wish someone had tried to tell us if she did or not.

Untrue. Arcadia.chat and alt.romath had a truce.

Untrue. You are the one that responds to every post with some variance
of **HA Pucko, into the BOZO bin with you.

If you respond to 20 posts with the same line, you are a spammer. Each
of the posts you respond to may have been rude or nasty, but they were
all different insults and by different people.

You may not feel that you do, but you should at least shut up and
learn from others that know more then you before spouting off.

I don't care if you fight spam and sleaze. That's your prerogative.
But you shouldn't have created a vanity group to do it in. Alt.spam is
a perfectly good group for that.

>Believe whatever you like.

Elaine, he's an example.
20 of us insult you with a different insult.
You respond to each of us with the same basic 'drivel removed' line.
Each of us has now has a BI=1, you have a BI=20. Do you understand

JUST IN CASE??? Just in case of what? In case you felt you needed to, say,
HARASS his folks. Hey, get it through your skull; this here is usenet. Very
little of what happens here does (or should) have anything to do with the
real life. That you think its acceptable to encourage real life harassment

No you sure don't. We don't want an explanation. We want you to stop
spamming usenet. Barring that, shut up and dance for us, puppet.

The fact that you continually refer to "sleaze" and fighting porn
proves that your main interest is censorship. All the real
spamfighters will say that they are not concerned with the content of
the message.

The only reason you are concerned with spam is that you are personally
offended by some of the content you see. You seem to be unable to
grasp the concept that spam = the same thing many times, regardless of
content. You have demonstrated this mental deficiency of yours on
more than one occasion by spamming this newsgroup (Yes, you spammed.
Deal.) and saying "I'll post whatever I want" when you were called on
it. You want to be a netcop, but you don't even understand the rules,
and if they are explained to you, you still seem to think they don't
apply to you.

In short, you are worthless as a "spam fighter". I have respect for
what the people in NANAE do, and what you are doing with that
ridiculous web site of yours is damaging to their efforts. If there
is any hope for you ever, you need to have the Romath persona commit
net.suicide. Then lurk NANAE for at least a year, probably more,
since you are a slow learner, read every FAQ and RFC you can get your
hands on, and come back under a different name once you fully grasp
and understand the issues of net abuse.

PS- Don't bother telling me about all your successful kills. They
mean shit. Anyone can get an ISP to send them an auto response. The
real spamfighters usually delete them unread.

Since you don't know how to set it so that your posts aren't archived,
all of usenet knows what you did, and you can't convince us otherwise.
No matter what you may or may not have *meant* to say or do, you *did*
the things that CU and I said you did. Just because you think what you
did isn't that bad, doesn't make it so. If you went out and killed a
dog because you didn't like the way it piddled on your lawn,
regardless of the fact you thought it was ok, it would still be wrong.

She has no idea of how foolish she looks. I work for my isp, and started
on this exciting career somewhat late in life. I learn from the younger
folks, because they have the most knowledge. Everytime Sergi, Pat or
OSnS says something, I have to go look up what was said, because I want
to learn and know what is being said. Elaine, you could do the same.
Instead of you picking off spammers one at a time and crowing about it,
get the offending hosts to tighten up their relays. Now that is a good
thing. By the way, I showed your website to my company. They're still
laughing about it. Elaine, you still suck.

If you have three people who don't usually agree agreeing on the fact
that you don't seem to understand the difference between posts you don't
like and spam, then perhaps you're so wrong you need a parody web site.
Plonk us all, dear, and run away now.

Very true. But once again, thanks for the help and trying to explain
things for me. I'm sorry if you feel a bit threatened or offended - that's
never been my intention. I think fighting spam is a good thing to do but
it's hard to know what's real and what's not and who to believe and who
not in this place.

Even if I did go offline and talk to his parents, he claims that they

no real intention to. I merely wanted that little bugger to know I had
ways of getting information too, since he claims I'm so 'useless at

**Indeed-- the moron element has been hanging around here since
January, doing their level best to 'wear me down' -- well, they will
not succeed. I see they are once again posting more crap in my
name---- using "Romath" directly in the header as I do--- and using
"notreally Romath" in the from line---- they are so childish and
immature, it is really sad.
The only thing that concerns me is that some innocent person may come
along, and not knowing about their forgeries, read the shit and
actually think it was coming from my direction.

>Not meaning to be rude or to "accuse" you of anything, but do two >wrongs make a right?

**No, they don't. But what am I doing wrong in fighting back? I've
been accused for months now of things I never did--- and also lost
some people I thought were friends on another ng as a result of their
bloody interference and constant badgering.
Sometimes it does become necessary to fight fire WITH fire----

**I do not feel threatened in any way by any of those netscum.
Hell, they post intentionally in my name, and get away with it---
They intentionally crosspost into all manner of ng's, and get away
with it----
They dig up old posts from DejaNews (or Deja.com I believe it is
now--) and repost them as though they are new, in order to start an
old argument all over again.
For a while, I stopped archiving--- I was then promptly accused of
'having a guilty conscience' and 'having something to hide'!
I removed my website from the internet, because idiots like them were
stealing info from it, and reposting it, such as my late parents'
name. They have also been posting sexual filth in my parents' names,
and getting away with it.
They constantly berate, nag, and twist words to suit themselves, as
well as goad people on and on, and they get away with it.
I fight back, and I'm told I'm all wrong---- that's typical!
The law is one the side of the bloody lawbreaker-- not the innocent
parties.

>I think fighting spam is a good thing to do but
>it's hard to know what's real and what's not and who to believe and who not in this place.

Well, believe me, alt.romath USED to be used strictly for
spamfighting. But these Aholes barged in and have been here ever
since, even claiming to have "spanked me out of here in less than a
day!"
Hell, even when someone else makes a post in here to me, they barge
in, telling them to stop posting here---- which they have no business
doing. I'm tired of always having to 'explain' my actions while they
get away with all kinds of things. I refuse to explain myself any
longer.
That's why I'm hamging around, and will continue fighting the good
fight. To hell with them.
Thank you for your comeback. Have a good one--

I'm just worried that if they've got you stooping down to their level -

acting so much like them that I couldn't tell the difference!

I mean, I can't tell you how to run your own group or anything, but like I

What do you think?

Or we could create a newsgroup--something like

be done about these self appointed alt.config

of alt.* and there's plenty of good people there that

I've had my run-ins with Rebecca before. She plonked me in March 1998
for backing her into a nasty rhetorical dilemma she couldn't back her
way out of; that and a rather mean-spirited (but delightfully so) song
I wrote about her. But most of the time, she has a very good idea of
what she's talking about.

Sure thing, Steve. From what I gather, Elaine Matthews began
posting as "Romath" about two years ago. She took up e-mail
spam fighting as some sort of holy cause, and gathered a group
of like minded individuals about her to do more of the same.
She alleges her ISP made a locally distributed newsgroup for
her, called alt.romath. (This seems a little suspicious to me,
as an ISP with their own newsspool could create their own
local hierarchy without having to attempt to control access to
an "alt" newsgroup.) Anyway, Aaron "Grape Boy" Welch came along
and sent out his usual newgroup messages for alt.romath, causing
it to be carried on servers around the world. So now we have
a globally propagated newsgroup, but without a globally propagated
charter.

So Romath goes big time, in a small time way. She casts her nets
wide in her quest to be the Great White SpamHunter of the internet.
Unfortunately, she's never bothered to read the FAQs or study up
on usenet. She really doesn't know what "spam" is, although after
two years she is learning. Now is the point in the narrative where
I mention that Romath has an ego the size of the Sears Tower. She
has many iron clad opinions on subjects in which she has only a
fleeting aquaintance and she insists on enforcing these opinions
on others. There is, of course, no mechanism for her to do so
other than to persuade through rhetoric; her chief rhetorical
method is the pontifical declaration from an assumed position of
authority. Enter the Empire of Meow.

The meowers moved into alt.romath and began ridiculing Romath; on
her ignorance of a subject to which she claims to be a master, on
her blatant homophobia, and on her amazing megalomania. Many
meowers have taken up "Romath" as part of their return addresses,
and began satirizing her unique writing style. Romath claims that
this has ruined alt.romath for the purpose for which it had been
created; it was no longer a place for her worshippers to genuflect
to her as they pretended to fight "spam." Still ignorant of the
mechanisms by which usenet is propagated, she now wants alt.romath
to be rmgrouped, although she doesn't know what that is. Recently,
she had been replying to every post written to alt.romath by a
meower with a notice that that individual had been placed in her
"bozo bin." Of course the meowers upped the crosspost count and
began morphing to get her to continue; she was easily BI triple
digits when I pointed out to her that she was well within the
cabal's spam cancel guidelines. After a lengthy exchange of posts
with her she seemed to begin to have an understanding that I was
not picking on her, she was just playing into the hands of the
meowers (who couldn't care less if she got some articles canceled,
but knew she'd go ballistic with paranoid accusations should it
ever occur.)

So she's quit replying to the meowers with "essentially similar"
messages, and is now upset that they insist upon putting her online
name in their own reply-to: headers. While what they're doing is
not technically forgery, it is intended to annoy. I know your (Steve
Boursys') own opinions on the matter of forgery are strong, and
I have in the past suggested that Elaine "Romath" Matthews ask
for your advice on the subject. (There's been a little tongue in
cheek sillyness as well; when I gave her a list of de-spammers to
contact should she not wish to accept my definitions of usenet
"spam," I included you with Lewis, Gierth et al. <g>)

So, basically, strong willed woman who has been on usenet for
two years (but still hasn't read the manuals) going toe to toe
with the Empire of Meow. Both sides are winning by their own
definitions. It's certainly fun to watch.

I'm rupturing this cascade to ask what are you talking about. The only
person in the known universe that I've *ever* plonked was Ulrike O'Brian
in rec.arts.sf.ferndom, er fandom.

And just which ones of my 'favorite groups' have you visited, Steve?

BTW, posting vague insults into every thread that /might/ be remotely related
to our earlier conversation just makes you sound like a moron. It's obvious
that you have no real response to the points that I've made, and so you're
throwing a temper tantrum.

Try actually participating in a ration discussion of the issues something.
You're just unhappy because, after you failed to provide any justification of
your accusations, twice, I referred to them as 'baseless and stupid'. Grow up.

**And you are, I suppose, huh? you are about as clueless as the creeps
who are invading here and other ng's. They aren't happy unless they're
harrassing someone, and they've been harrassing me for the past six
months.
Every day, they try something else in their futile attempts to make me
fold. I REFUSE.
Lately, you may have noticed an extreme influx of posts with my
monicker on 'em----- that's because the moron element are trying hard
to make it look like it's me, and they're trying to make it look like
I'm screwing up the works. But they won't succeed. Neither will you in
trying to make me believe that Ray is a scumbucket-- because he says
what he thinks, you can't stand that. Too bad.....

-Sure thing, Steve. From what I gather, Elaine Matthews began
-posting as "Romath" about two years ago. She took up e-mail
-spam fighting as some sort of holy cause,

Yes--we're back to the laxitive issue again--Rebecca says I
point that out too often.

-and gathered a group of like minded individuals about her to do
-more of the same. She alleges her ISP made a locally distributed
-newsgroup for her, called alt.romath.

A local alt.* group--that's not possible. Sounds like a control
issue.

-(This seems a little suspicious to me,

More than a little.

-as an ISP with their own newsspool could create their own
-local hierarchy without having to attempt to control access to
-an "alt" newsgroup.) Anyway, Aaron "Grape Boy" Welch came
-along and sent out his usual newgroup messages for alt.romath,
-causing it to be carried on servers around the world.

That's excellent---gives users a free choice.

-So now we have a globally propagated newsgroup, but without
-a globally propagated charter.

Could always right one I suppose for those who need
a charter.


-So Romath goes big time, in a small time way. She casts her
-nets wide in her quest to be the Great White SpamHunter of
-the internet.

Yes--sometimes they close ranks although some anti-spammers
can separate out issues.

-Unfortunately, she's never bothered to read the FAQs or study
-up on usenet.

Well that part is to her advantage I would think.

-She really doesn't know what "spam" is, although after
-two years she is learning.

Yes--some call anything they don't approve of 'spam'. On
usenet the official definition is the BI.

-Now is the point in the narrative where I mention that Romath
-has an ego the size of the Sears Tower.

And keep in mind that Sears is closing stores right and left.

-She has many iron clad opinions on subjects in which she has
-only a fleeting aquaintance

That's true of all of us though.

-and she insists on enforcing these opinions on others.

That's downright nasty.

-There is, of course, no mechanism for her to do so
-other than to persuade through rhetoric;

Well that's fine--as long as she's not sending out
cancels or complaining to ISPs--if that's happening
examples should be published. Is that happening?

-her chief rhetorical method is the pontifical declaration

That's fine.

-from an assumed position of authority.

And that's true of all who pretend to be in a position
of authority.

-Enter the Empire of Meow.

Wonderful.

-
-The meowers moved into alt.romath and began ridiculing Romath;
-on her ignorance of a subject to which she claims to be a master,
-on her blatant homophobia, and on her amazing megalomania.
-Many meowers have taken up "Romath" as part of their return
-addresses, and began satirizing her unique writing style. Romath
-claims that this has ruined alt.romath for the purpose for which it
-had been created;

It is an unmoderated newsgroup is it not. Perhaps the Meowers
should create alt.romath.moderated.queenbee for her--something
like that. That way everyone has a choice and she can talk
to herself all she likes.

-it was no longer a place for her worshippers to genuflect
-to her as they pretended to fight "spam." Still ignorant of the
-mechanisms by which usenet is propagated, she now wants
-alt.romath to be rmgrouped,

Most ignore those--did you see MSN actually accept a
rmgroup for alt.config. Of course it goes without saying
that if one may rmgroup all may do so--no one is
special on usenet.

-although she doesn't know what that is. Recently,
-she had been replying to every post written to alt.romath by a
-meower with a notice that that individual had been placed in
-her "bozo bin."

So she's a spammer!!! But atleast she's not complaining to
ISPs so you might go easy on her.

- Of course the meowers upped the crosspost count and
-began morphing to get her to continue; she was easily BI triple
-digits when I pointed out to her that she was well within the
-cabal's spam cancel guidelines. After a lengthy exchange of
-posts with her she seemed to begin to have an understanding
-that I was not picking on her, she was just playing into the hands
-of the meowers (who couldn't care less if she got some articles
-canceled,

Yes--the cancels are wrong.

-but knew she'd go ballistic with paranoid accusations should it
-ever occur.)

Well she should go ballistic if her posts are cancelled.

-
-So she's quit replying to the meowers with "essentially similar"
-messages, and is now upset that they insist upon putting her
-online name in their own reply-to: headers.

I can see that--they might consider not doing that.

-While what they're doing is not technically forgery, it is intended
-to annoy.

It's not proper and reflects poorly on the Meowers--they can
certainly do better than that--they're a very resourceful group
and it sounds like they've certainly made their point.

-I know your (Steve Boursys') own opinions on the matter of forgery
-are strong, and I have in the past suggested that Elaine "Romath"
-Matthews ask for your advice on the subject. (There's been a little
-tongue in cheek sillyness as well; when I gave her a list of de-spammers
-to contact should she not wish to accept my definitions of usenet
-"spam," I included you with Lewis, Gierth et al. <g>)

Thankyou. The forgery part is very wrong.

-So, basically, strong willed woman who has been on usenet for
-two years (but still hasn't read the manuals)

Again to her credit.

-going toe to toe with the Empire of Meow. Both sides are winning by
-their own definitions. It's certainly fun to watch.

Sounds like fun--the forgery should stop though.

Thank you for your very lucid analysis of the situation.

Kindly ignore the rhetoric as given by a certain party. I've been
online for not merely two years, but longer, and I originally got
alt.romath created through my ISP. It was used a a base on which I'd
post spam and investigate it from there---- at the time, I was
acadia.chat's official spam investigator. Rather than clutter up
alt.spam or other antispam ng's with my reposts of what I was
investigating, I asked my ISP about the formation of alt.romath, and
he agreed. Alt config said to use alt.spam. I did for a bit, but soon
started receiving complaints that I was 'cluttering it up'-- so I
quit. Of course, alt.config claims 'I insisted on having my own way'
--when I did not. I merely tried to explain my reasoning behind why I
needed a separate group. One of the answers I received was "fuck off
and die." -- nice bunch.
I had no idea that Aaron Welch (never met him either) was going to put
out a control message. And, before I had the chance to change the name
before it starting propogating, alt.romath stuck. I wanted to change
it to alt.spam.investigations.
Some here claim I know nothing about what I'm doing. Wrong. I have a
good investigative record.
However, I never made any claims to perfection, and I sure as hell do
not have a big ego.
I simply enjoy helping people, and I'm nobody's doormat.
I also say what I think.
I'm noticing more and more every day that certain individuals are
stealing the name 'romath' and using it to post filth with.
They're usung email addies now like 'rom...@penis.com', and scratchy
also reactivated my old rom...@hotmail.com.
The ASPIB homepage (Anti Spam / Porn Investigative Bureau) name was
stolen, and used on a porn site, labelled AS...@pardesi.com, in which
an ugly, skinny male idiot is seen posing stark naked with a stupid
erection. It was either a phony penis, or he'd masturbated enough to
get it up.
Another false ASPIB site was also posted, to which I had no
connection.
Posts are being forged in my name, lines from my posts are being taken
and reposted as filth in other false posts,and these morons wonder why
I get ticked off with them....
My ISP's name was posted by Kramer as ViOnet --- Slurp.net was posted
by Kramer as Slorp.net ---- and messages posted in my name as though I
was the actual poster. I know that from looking at the header, one can
tell it is not me--- but the innocent bystander looking in would look
at that crap and figure I'm a real sleaze from what these netscum have
been posting.

Why would this be relevant ?? Surely, it is sufficient to say "a
skinny male with an erection", rather than speculate as to how he
acquired it ??

Just curious,

Pat.
