This is a comment about the following URL:

http://womenswallstreet.com/WWS/article_landing.aspx?titleid=1&articleid=711

which has been showing up in a lot of the ngs, including the one's
listed here.

To begin with, if it walks like a duck, looks like a duck,
and quacks like a duck, the possibility that it's a duck
does need to be investigated.

That having said, it's not clear exactly what Ms. Jacobsen
is complaining about.

It seems like the situation was handled extremely well
and professionally. Why should one paranoid cowardly
journalist be expected to have control over the situation,
and not the professionals?

The Air Marshals travel incognito, as normal passengers.
That's a big asset they have. Should they all have
revealed themselves immediately and blown their
cover, to save Ms. Jacobsen from getting paranoid?

The air hostess went so far as to reveal the presence
of Air Marshals to Ms. Jacobsen as a personal person-to-person
favor. She mentioned this would put her career in danger.
And what does Ms. Jacobsen do? She broadcasts
this information all over the place, trying to make sure
the air hostess's career encounters some turbulence.
Just because the poor air hostess felt bad about
Ms. Jacobsen's distress and wanted her to feel
a little bit better.

Ms. Jacobsen's publishing this "confidential" information
was either the act of a very selfish journalist
or a paranoid coward.

What would she have preferred? That anybody
she finds personally suspicious be taken into custody
immediately?

Or should all the passengers be encouraged to
take things in their own hands immediately
when they see anything suspicious?

Or should journalists do all "screening"? How
exactly does Ms. Jacobsen know no attention
was paid by authorities to these suspicious
individuals. In fact, she investigated and
found the suspicious individuals were investigated
by FBI and other agencies. So what makes
her think the situation was ignored? Why
does she feel compelled to add stupid
suggestions of her own?

The authorities know that reckless profiling
will only increase the alienation, besides
setting bad precedents and doing little good.
Just because it will make little Ms. Jacobsen
feel better, doesn't mean it IS a better
way to control things.

Air travel is bad enough, and there are many
yellow-bellied cowards who are being forced to
take flights for various reason, and therefore who
create a very tense environment in air travel. The
cowardlies are very much on edge -- there are people traveling
who feel extremely threatened and look red-faced and ready to
blow-up for so much as a child exclaiming while looking out the
window "Look, the wing is dipping" in the middle of a turn.
[Making one want to tap them on the shoulder
and explain, "Look Mr. Coward, it's normal
for a wing to dip when turning, the terrorists are
not taking over. Try looking out the window of
an airplane, flying can be fun."]

This is the time to listen to brave people, and
not to the cowards.

Irresponsible journalists like Ms. Jacobsen
should not be enocouraged to further worsen
the situation. If she did it just for publication,
it was a very selfish thing, not a helpful thing.
The information she published was confidential.
Her "sources" had not given permission, and
in fact had clearly indicated they wanted the
information to be kept confidential. She
displayed a total lack of journalistic ethics,
as did her publisher.

If she ignored journalistic ethics not from
selfishness but from cowardice and panic, it
is even more important to stop her from
spreading her cowardice and panic.

The obvious solution is to place her on the airlines' "cannot travel by air" list.

I just happen to disagree with your take on this event bhanwaram, the exact
actions going on by the crew and marshalls is unknown. That being said, now
if we error, we need to do it on the side of safety. Examples:

Turn seat belt sign ON to seat the passengers. Then if they still kept
getting up, start decending to below 10,000' so if there was an Event, the
decompresson would not be Explosive and passengers can breathe. Had I of
been on the flight, anxious would not have described me.

I flew recently from RDU to Nashville, Tn. A new announcement was
made....New FAA regulations prohibit passengers from congregating near the
front Lav.

On the return flight, we had not reached cruise altitude and an elderly lady
stood up to go to the Lav up front. She was in a window seat, so the other
two people had to get up. The Cabin crew made it extremely clear, for them
to sit back down. No if's, and's or buts. They sat back down till the seat
belt light went off.

Tell us the truth about TWA-800, Mr. Clinton!

A bullet hole will not cause explosive decompression. Seems simple to me,
have the flight crew drop the air pressure in the plane low enough that you
HAVE to sit in your seat with your oxygen mask on, tough to cause mayhem if
you passout from hypoxia.

Given the situation under discussion - if I had to trust a handful of middle
eastern men moving back and forth throughout the cabin, or a "yellow
bellied" passenger (as described), it would be the latter. Most people in
the US who witness a crime wait until the crime has occurred before calling
the cops, rather than before, e.g. people "casing" a house prior to the
burglary, people walking into a store with a mask on, etc. These types are
usually seen prior to their crime but the "good" citizen who has witnessed
this behavior didn't want to embarrass anyone. So they shut up like the
sheep who are so critical here, and hoped for the best.

Terror is not in the skies! Terror to me is in our own goverment, we are
losing our civil liberties and our rights that make us free! If every time
something happens and they remove one of our civil liberties and our rights
the terrorists have achieved their objective, instead of restricting our
freedoms every time something happens they should be giving us more freedoms
and more civil liberties while working on securing out borders from non
citizens. I am not saying put up a wall as I feel that would make us
prizioners of our own country.

The media says that a national ID system is wrong, well what the hell do you
think a birth certificate and passport is? As Americans we should have a way
to identify ourselves as such if we chouse to travel outside our country's
borders and not with early 1900's technology. We should not be hassled at
our own borders while re-entering our country of citizen ship. I don't mind
being hassled when entering someone else country I expect it.

As for airport security!!! I believe it should not be made a law or
regulation! I think that is like the helmet laws some states have a plain
violation of our rights to be stupid. A right that most people value. I
think that if the airlines really gave a dam about security they would make
it their own company policy's to have even more heightened security that
dose not discriminate & requires everyone follow the policy if they chouse
to go on that airline.


Airline / Passanger Terminal Security
Only permits carrying on of necessity/enteraiment items such as books,
laptops, diapers, bottles of milk, food, & medications ect but has to be in
a clear conatiner or a see through netted bag. (sounds like some policy
schools have)
Requires you to go through a metal detctor twice "schools require this for
our children"
Reqiures a pat down search "cop's do it prior to giving you a ride"
Requires Photo ID and must be displayed while beyond the security check
point "some of our childrens schools also require this and children will not
even be let on the school bus with out it being displayed"

Now the above is not law it is company policy you have the choice to fly or
not if you dont like it take a bus (except school bus in some areas) or a
train.

When the government makes airport security a law or regulation then it take
away our civil liberties and freedom's. If it is company's policy for
heightened security then it dose not. It give us Americans a choice to not
fly, take a bus, a train or a airline with less security.

This reply may get me flamed so it be! maby for spelling, punctuation, or
you just don't like what I have written. To the flamers I say go for it
flame away it don't bother me you have the right to do so and I have the
right not to read and respond to your replies and I will not.

This is all my opinion.

Name one civil liberty you or anyone else in the US has lost. You can't ( or
at least honestly). Several groups, including the ACLU, has done studies and
cannot identify anyone who has. Besides under the Patriot Act anyone whose
civil liberties has been violated has the right to sue and no one has yet to
file a complaint.

I believe it is a law in most states that a person over the age of 18 must
carry a photo ID and if requested by a law enforcement officer that person
must show that photo ID. I really don't see the problem with this.

IIRC, recent court rulings prohibit the police from taking any action if you
simply verbally refuse to identify yourself.

Obviously, you cannot be required to carry any sort of ID in the normal
course of your life.

I was prevented from flying for months and now have to cancel randomly due
to stadium or other TFRs; anotherwords, I have had my right to the use of
the airspace restricted or removed.

Traveling into and from NYC myself and others are now subject to search. A
neighbor's daughter was searched and busted because they found she had a
joint in her pocket. This violates the right to not be searched without
cause.

A fan website (one of the TV sci-fi series) was busted and the FBI acquired
all the financial records of the webmaster by using Patriot Act rules,
without even asking a judge. This shows that anyone, for any perceived
offense, can and will have provisions of the Patriot Act used against them.
Search and seizure without a court order is now allowed and practiced.

That's only off the top of my head.

I am not affiliated with the ALCU or any other group but as a citizen I am
most definitely concerned and this has my attention.

I think in general, anxious passengers add to the trouble
and do not help in any way -- they should not even
use their anxious heads to provide any suggestions.

If you are having heart surgery, would you prefer
anxious surgeons, or calm collected surgeons?
Would you want anxious surgeons thinking out
loud, and giving advice to the calm ones in their
jittery voices? Do you think such advice would
have any sense in it?

What would you like these anxious jittery surgeons to
be doing? I personally would prefer them to
tape their mouths shut, so they don't mess
up the calm collected folks. If they don't
have any of the right stuff in them, they have no
business making it unnecessarily dangerous for me.

(Of course, I would hope I do not have the
bad luck of encountering such anxious and
irresponsible surgeons, or fellow passengers
for that matter.)

The recent court case (IANAL and IIRC) set the precedent that you *do* have
to identify yourself and *do* have to carry ID (I don't think it has to be
photo ID though).

Yeah, what a shame.. If the police don't like the color of your skin,
then they can stop you when you are doing nothing wrong, and demand ID.

What's next "white only" drinking fountains and seating sections?

I've had to catch a connecting flight ("we got a runner") with no tome
to stop for the necessities. I mentioned this to the flight
attendant, she said, "go". The aisle was so steep I just braced my
legs and slid to the back. Man, what a relief.

OTOH, climbing out of Detroit a few years back, a passenger across the
aisle was obviously turning GREEN. She kept turning and looking over
her shoulder at the restroom. Finally she unbuckled and stepped into
the aisle. Again it was so steep she slid to the back. One stu opened
the door and the other pushed her in, fortunately is was soon enough.

All these rules are the main reason I will fly commercial only as a
last resort such as in the case of life and death. Mainly mine. I can
think of no other reason I'd currently get on a commercial flight.
When I get too old to fly myself I'll either drive or stay home.

That wasn't the point, though. You aren't being asked to
automatically trust a handful of middle eastern men (and in fact,
not all middle eastern men will even be visually obvious to you!)
You are simply being asked to be calm in a dangerous
situation, and not to yell "fire" in a crowded theatre.

If you would trust a panic-mode cowardly passenger over
calm professional authorities who are exerting good
control over the situation -- and if you would do this
just because you need to feel hostile -- I would think
you have problems.

This story was in the news recently. There were a lot of concerned passengers,
and some difference between the various law enforcement folks as to whether
they handled this correctly and what they did wrong.

While clearly this situation was not out of control, it wasn't well coordinated,
and it bothers me that now, almost 3 years after 9/11/2001, we aren't better
coordinated with regard to threats in airplanes.

"on"?

This is not even plausible. Either the reporter saw things
that didn't happen (I think this is called hallucination,
probably could happen in extreme paranoia), or meant to
write "off" instead of "on" but thought "on" would make
better copy.

This was reported by NPR last night, and it indeedhappened when the seatbelt
sign went on.

That was the bit that convinced me it was at the best a highly exaggerated
story. I just do not believe either the cabin crew or sky marshals taking no
action at all.

A couple of important points seem to have slipped through the cracks on this
one...

Being required to identify yourself is not the same thing as being required
to produce some type of identity document.

A person that a police officer reasonably suspects of criminal activity does
not enjoy the same status as does an ordinary citizen who is simply going
about his/her business.

This was my original statement: "In the US, as per the Supreme Court, under


ordinary circumstances (i.e. you are not suspected of a crime) you are
neither required to carry any sort of ID or to identify yourself to any law
enforcement officer."

Here are the sources I'm presenting:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57604-2004Jun21.html and
http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0622/p01s01-usju.html

Here's the law: "Nevada's law says that police may detain anyone "under
circumstances which reasonably indicate that the person has committed, is
committing or is about to commit a crime," and that "any person so detained
shall identify himself, but may not be compelled to answer any other
inquiry.""

And here's the facts of the case: "The decision stems from the case of Larry
Hiibel, who was arrested in May 2000 after he refused a deputy sheriff's
repeated demand that he produce some form of identification.
The encounter took place at the side of a road in Humboldt County, Nev. The
deputy had received a report of a man striking a woman in a pickup truck.
When the deputy arrived at the scene, Mr. Hiibel was standing outside a
pickup truck that was parked on the shoulder of the road. His daughter was
sitting inside the truck.

The deputy asked Hiibel 11 times to produce identification. Hiibel
repeatedly refused, saying he'd done nothing wrong. The deputy placed him
under arrest in accord with a Nevada law that permits police to detain
criminal suspects for up to 60 minutes to compel them to identify
themselves.

Hiibel refused to comply."

Continuing: "He was charged and convicted of violating the mandatory
identity law, a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail. His
conviction was affirmed by a state appeals court and the Nevada Supreme
Court."

Some information from another story: "By a vote of 5 to 4, the court ruled
that Larry Dudley Hiibel's constitutional rights to be free of unreasonable
arrest and to remain silent were not violated when Deputy Lee Dove arrested
him for refusing to give his name after Dove stopped Hiibel and questioned
him near Winnemucca, Nev., on May 21, 2000."

Note that we are working from reporting here, as opposed to the actual legal
documents. I mention this so I may note that one account indicates the
deputy requested a driver's license; another indicates the deputy only
requested that Hiibel provide his name. The incident took place in or about
a motor vehicle on a public roadway, which probably led to an initial
request for a driver's license.

Here's an important point made by SCOTUS: "In upholding his conviction and


the mandatory identity-disclosure law, the majority justices also said the
law only requires that a suspect disclose his or her name, rather than

requiring production of a driver's license or other document." You only have
to give police your name; you do not have to produce any documents.

And the original law limited the scope of this power to: persons being
detained by police "under circumstances which reasonably indicate that the
person has committed, is committing or is about to commit a crime,"

So, all of this leads to the conclusion: ""In the US, as per the Supreme


Court, under ordinary circumstances (i.e. you are not suspected of a crime)
you are neither required to carry any sort of ID or to identify yourself to
any law enforcement officer."

Coincidentally, my original statement...

Natural reaction on most flights. People waiting patiently in their
seats for the toilets to become free, maybe crossing their legs.
As soon as the seat belt light comes on during the descent, it's
"ok, got to rush to the toilet now or I won't get another chance
for maybe half an hour".

Just to be pedantic, a properly executed barrel roll should be
in positive-g all the way round, so no one would hit their head
on the ceiling.

Another take on the seat belt sign thing, airlines from the US
often put their seat belt signs on far too often and for far too long
at any one time. Any hint of turbulence and on they go. It's usually
different for airlines from other parts of the world.

The US airlines are afraid of legal action should anyone claim
they've hurt themselves even in light turbulence, so for legal reasons
the seatbelt signs go on when in actual fact it's unnecessary. If
people then choose to move about, they can't sue.

This is the part of the story that is both most frightening and least
plausible. Notice she said the FA s were belted in and then seven men
used two lavatories for an average of four minutes each. That would
mean they were belted in 16 minutes prior to landing and felt it was
too risky to stand up and do something. Unless flying through
extremely bumpy air (rare in LA) this doesn't happen.

I have not been on a flight in years when the fasten seat belt signs
EVER went off -- I just doubt this story. If this had happened the way
she described then our bullying FAs would have insisted these people be
seated. I have been on numerous flights where people have been ushered
back to their seats near the end of the flight. This whole story is
very fishy.

So if you're arrested for refusing to identify yourself to police, must the
police then advise you of your right to remain silent?

Others have said it, but it bears repeating:

In the US, as per the RECENT Supreme Court ruling, under ordinary
circumstances, you are REQUIRED to identify yourself at the request of
a law enforcement officer. Failure to provide your name is grounds
for arrest. Providing a false name is grounds for arrest.

The fact that small but long-standing rights are being removed by
court rulings, yet people continue to parrot what they were taught in
their highschool "Law & You" classes indicates WHY these rights are
being removed so effectively without clamor.

A. I am presenting the MOST RECENT Supreme Court.

B. You DO NOT have to identify yourself UNLESS the police reasonably believe
you committed, are committing or are about to commit a crime,

C. You do not have to identify yourself under any circumstances unless you
live in a state where a law exists requiring you to do so.

You may be correct about rights being removed, but that's a different

Nevertheless, in many communities if you do not present photo ID on demand
you will be detained. If you're in a vehicle, that makes it subject to
towing (or roadside vandalism). Once you go through the administrative
nonsense and they let you go, or the case is thrown out, they've already
demolished whatever immediate plans you had.

Never been a problem to me. If a cop asks for my ID, I show it to 'em and if
I don't have it, I tell them so.

Some friends of mine had their vehicle searched because there was an Altoids

searched them and found nothing, is Visine. If you have allergies or bad
breath and your remedy is visible outside the vehicle, they can search you.
If you're busted, however, there are lawyers who can get you off the hook

In Oregon, the cop is as likely to throw it away or put in his pocket as he
is to bust you for it. This happened to the daughter of a friend of mine

are willing to marry them for money so they can get their green card. Voight is
a pro at this, handing out daily advice on how to be a sleazoid like him and
sell green cards.

When he isn't giving out advice on how to commit federal crimes on
alt.visa.us.marriage-based he is usually on rec.travel.air flooding that
newsgroup with trolls and harassing posters and picking retarded fights with the
regular posters there.

He also tends to post a lot in the personals and penpals newsgroups as well as
the support groups for fat people, lonely folks, and for depression. Obviously
after his Russian Internet brides get their green cards they flee, leaving him
lonely and desperate for company. Maybe that's why he keeps a P.O. Box at the
post office, so he can get his personals mail there:

Voight, Michael
P.O. Box 67016,
Scotts Valley, CA 95067
(408) 461-8707

He also seems to frequent the teenage newsgroups. Creepy.....

The idiot is a two-time high school dropout and had to join the Marines because
even the Army rejected him!

He's got a daughter in Orange County that one of his ex-wives had the
intelligence to take away from him. Lord only knows what could have
happened to her if she had continued to live with the kook. The other kids he
has belong to his previous Russian sleazy brides, and since they come and go so
do the kids. It wouldn't hurt to let Cisco know what kind of deviant sexual
pervert they have working for them.

Many people have wondered how Cisco ever hired such a psycho. It cheapens their
image and credibility in the corporate world after all. Well, they didn't hire
him directly, he came as baggage when they acquired the company he used to work
for, TGV Software. His e-mail address there used to be <mvo...@tgv.com>.

All intelligent members of the usenet community have killfiled him, so he takes
great pains to get past their killfiles by rubbing his only two cerebral neurons
together and coming up with gems like: mrtrav <mrt...@mtr.mrt.trm>, mrtrav3
<mr...@aa.aa>, mrraveltay <mrrav...@me.igpay.atinlay>, and mrtravelkay
<mrtra...@a.aa>, and mtravelkay <a....@aaa.aaa> and <""a.a\"@a,a,a>.

Some of his other trolling aliases are Network Guy,

Kathy Stoltz <kathy...@hotmail.com> the latest. Perhaps he's thinking of
getting a sex change.

It would be a good idea to call Cisco at 1-800-553-2447 and ask to speak with a
supervisor and explain that you are EXTREMELY unhappy that this idiot spends his
whole day at work playing on the internet on company time. THEY WILL NOT LIKE
THAT.

Then write to corporate headquarters explaining what this idiot is doing and
telling them HOW BAD IT IS FOR THEIR COMPANY IMAGE. They will LOVE that you
brought this to their attention:

Cisco Systems, Inc.
170 West Tasman Dr.

Then also call them. You should always follow up email or letters with phone
calls. Always ask for supervisors or managers. Try to get as far up as
possible.

(408)526-4000
(800)553-NETS or

company resources:

Then finally, send letters with copies of his nasty posts addressed
personally to each one of the OFFICERS of the company using the

In an ideal world I would agree with you.

But...

Any and all circumstances turn into "suspicion" at the will of the police
officer;
Any unlawful activity gets the full use of laws intended to deal with the
most heinous terrorism;
In practice police are demanding ID and not just an answer.

And more.

I support the police - they are essential and it is a tough, all-consuming
and at times very depressing job. However, they are their own worse enemy
at times. I have been witness to some eggregious police behavior and as a
citizen there is nothing that can be done. Even reformers on the inside
have at times met with bad results.

There will be no easy "solution," but it is clear there must be better forms
of checks-and-balances than presently exist.

Usenet is NOT an appropriate place for an 11 year old you stupid fuck.

If reading my post was your first clue to that, you're parental skills

And yeah, I write exactly the way I talk at times. And sometimes it

something else to filter on besides the poster's name is crossposts.

For example, replying to posts with such groups as
talk.politics.mideast and alt.politics.bush is sure to
bring out valuable contributers who have difficulty spelling

[...]

This guy is a perfect example of a very-scared person,
foul-mouthing all over. Someone pointed out to Mr. phantom
the case of an 11-year old grand-daughter reading the
aviation newsgroup, wanting Mr. "phantom" to try to keep
a bit civil. Futile effort to shame Mr. "phantom" into
anything -- mr. "phantom" simply exploded with more
foul-mouthing. As per him, 11-year olds shouldn't read
newsgroups, even one's expected to be civil (unlike, say,
a political newsgroups.)

It's a cause for concern if Mr. phantom forces himself to do
any actual aviation. I strongly doubt Mr. phantom
would be able to keep his head if he finds the
plan in an accidental stall with no instructor nearby.
He would probably foul-mouth more about Osama bin Laden
and the lib dems causing the plane to fly funny, put it
into a spin, and then have no idea what to do...

Though with any luck, the postings from Mr. phantom
into aviation newsgroups have nothing to do
with his knowing anything about aviation...

But there are a lot of people as scared as Mr. phantom,
and it's about time the direction of this changed.
Scared people take foolish actions -- as the autorities
pointed out Ms. Jacobsen was a danger to the
entire flight because of her paranoia. If instead
of hamrless musicians doing normal things (well,
not necessarily normal as per "oh no! they ate food!
oh look, they went to the restroom! Look, they are
talking!" Ms. Jacobsen) real terrorists were on the
plane, the last thing needed was a paranoid passenger
on the plane, creating general panic and stopping
anybody from handling the situation.

In addition, there are some other interesting things:

The middle eastern men were talking Arabic all the
time, but then only time when they wanted to "mouth" something
instead of talking, was to "mouth" the English word "NO"!
They could easily have said "no" in Arabic, or at least have
mouthed it in Arabic!

So that doesn't sound like astute observation at all.
It sounds like paranoid hysyteria.

Given the level of paranoia, the "he didn't smile
back at me" makes perfect sense. Would you smile
back at somebody who has been giving you suspicious
glances all the time, and then paints a smile at
her face on top of all the terror written underneath?
Most people would find it insulting to see the terror
despite a friendly interaction a few minutes ago,
and a patently false smile would be even more insulting.

The whole purpose of the "friendly smile" was to
check out her suspicions. How could she expect
it to look real? Does she imagine she is a very
high quality actress? Or does she imagine people
are all morons that they can't tell actual friendly
smiles from totally fake ones?.

Cool, when you want to make a farce of the security status quo, why not
spout more of the uber-liberal 60s free love psychology that allowed 9/11 to
happen.

Not everyone is your brother, there are a lot of people who are living as
your brothers, but are just waiting for you to drop your guard. Call me
paranoid, or deal with the evidence that abounds, and always did. You
obviously haven't been affected directly by them, yet... Hence the

Many in Al Anbar (Fallujah, Ramadi, etc.) think US forces are a menace to
security.
So they go and kill them, even if it isn't politically correct.
They also choose security.
The difference here, however, is that they are doing it in their own land.

That's got to be the most brain dead post this week.

I'm sorry about the rest of replies posted by the people here. You really
shouldn't let anybody under 15 or so on USENET, as the people who posted
intelligent things here are 95% gone. What's left is the offal, and I've
seen far more sick and disturbing posts from them than the one you read,
believe me. USENET as a forum for serious discussion is in the grave right
now and is just waiting to be buried.

As to the people who are going to post nasty replies, I really don't care
anymore.

After reviewing all the evidence, I wonder if I was wrong a little,
and Ms. Jacobsen's fellow travelers were indeed involved
with anti-American forces. Here is a picture where
the leader of these particular Syrians (the one with
dark glasses sitting in first class) is clearly seen with a lady
who was partly responsible for a collective insanity that put 1 out
of 33 Americans in jail

http://www.nationalreview.com/images/pic_taylor_20040721a.jpg

The other gent in the picture was also known to invent fictional tales
not unlike Ms. Jacobsen's, e.g. a particular lady driving a cadillac.
(Perhaps he in fact saw a lady driving a cadillac, and just
like Ms. Jacobsen jumping to the "terrorist" conclusion,
automatically jumped to the "welfare" conclusion.
Maybe it was a pink cadillac he saw on MTV.)

Idiot.

You forget a month ago you were impersonating a woman named Kathy Stoltz
claiming to be a mother of three living in Phoenix. What a short memory you
have. But then that is true of most trolls.

Idiot.

After the last (incredibly stupid) stunts you pulled I told you I will forward
every single thing you post from now on to your employer. And now you're back
with the same old shit. Some people are gluttons for punishment.

>Oh, by the way, FUCK YOU.!!

Thanks. This will make a great addition to your (rapidly expanding) HR file at
Cisco.

-----------------------------------------

About rogue Cisco employee and netkook/troll/usenet flooder
Michael Voight, alias "Really Me", "mrtravel", "mrtravelkay", etc.

Currently posting as Really Me <real...@gmail.com>.

His work e-mail address is <mvo...@cisco.com>.

Michael D. Voight
111 Bean Creek Rd, No. 118
Scotts Valley, CA 95066-4148
(831) 438-2485
mrtr...@sbcglobal.net .

He is pedophile Gary Burnore's partner in crime. Gary Burnore is a convicted
sex offender/child molester and the biggest kook in the history of the net.

The idiot works for Cisco in their Scotts Valley, California
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and apparently they don't
keep him busy enough so he has to troll usenet newsgroups all day long from
work.
He's been trolling,harassing posters, and flooding newsgroups for over 10 years.

***WARNING: THIS IDIOT HAS BEEN CAUGHT FORGING PEOPLE'S IDENTITIES ON USENET
AND CANCELLING THEIR POSTS.***

If you are one of his victims, or are simply fed up with his trolling/newsgroup
flooding, forward his posts to ab...@cisco.com .

He works in technical support, so forward them to t...@cisco.com too.

See further below for more Cisco contact information.

He often posts through sbcglobal and prodigy, so forward them to
ab...@prodigy.net and ab...@sbcglobal.net as well.

His main hangout is alt.visa.us.marriage-based, a sleazy newsgroup where
foreigners wanting to immigrate to the US hook up with losers like Voight who
are willing to marry them for money so they can get their green card. Voight is
a pro at this, handing out daily advice on how to be a sleazoid like him and
sell green cards.

When he isn't giving out advice on how to commit federal crimes on
alt.visa.us.marriage-based he is usually on rec.travel.air flooding that
newsgroup with trolls and harassing posters and picking retarded fights with the
regular posters there.

He also tends to post a lot in the personals and penpals newsgroups as well as
the support groups for fat people, lonely folks, and for depression. Obviously
after his Russian Internet brides get their green cards they flee, leaving him
lonely and desperate for company. Maybe that's why he keeps a P.O. Box at the
post office, so he can get his personals mail there:

Voight, Michael
P.O. Box 67016,
Scotts Valley, CA 95067
(408) 461-8707

He also seems to frequent the teenage newsgroups. Creepy.....

The idiot is a two-time high school dropout and had to join the Marines because
even the Army rejected him!

He's got a daughter in Orange County that one of his ex-wives had the
intelligence to take away from him. Lord only knows what could have
happened to her if she had continued to live with the kook. The other kids he
has belong to his previous Russian sleazy brides, and since they come and go so
do the kids. It wouldn't hurt to let Cisco know what kind of deviant sexual
pervert they have working for them.

Many people have wondered how Cisco ever hired such a psycho. It cheapens their
image and credibility in the corporate world after all. Well, they didn't hire
him directly, he came as baggage when they acquired the company he used to work
for, TGV Software. His e-mail address there used to be <mvo...@tgv.com>.

All intelligent members of the usenet community have killfiled him, so he takes
great pains to get past their killfiles by rubbing his only two cerebral neurons
together and coming up with gems like: mrtrav <mrt...@mtr.mrt.trm>, mrtrav3
<mr...@aa.aa>, mrraveltay <mrrav...@me.igpay.atinlay>, and mrtravelkay
<mrtra...@a.aa>, and mtravelkay <a....@aaa.aaa> and <""a.a\"@a,a,a>.

posting as women, most recently as JerseyGirl <jerse...@hotmail.com> and
Kathy Stoltz <kathy...@hotmail.com> the latest. Perhaps he's thinking of
getting a sex change.

It would be a good idea to call Cisco at 1-800-553-2447 and ask to speak with a
supervisor and explain that you are EXTREMELY unhappy that this idiot spends his
whole day at work playing on the internet on company time. THEY WILL NOT LIKE
THAT.

Then write to corporate headquarters explaining what this idiot is doing and
telling them HOW BAD IT IS FOR THEIR COMPANY IMAGE. They will LOVE that you
brought this to their attention:

Cisco Systems, Inc.
170 West Tasman Dr.
San Jose, CA 95134
USA

Then also call them. You should always follow up email or letters with phone
calls. Always ask for supervisors or managers. Try to get as far up as
possible.

(408)526-4000
(800)553-NETS or
(800)553-6387

Contact Investor Relations and tell them you are interested in investing in
their company but won't do so until they get rid of this asshole who is wasting
company resources:

stuff:

Then finally, send letters with copies of his nasty posts addressed
personally to each one of the OFFICERS of the company using the
headquarters address. Believe me, they READ your complaints and
are VERY INTERESTED in them, especially if it's about one of their employees.
They will take a PERSONAL interest in rooting this ASSHOLE out of their company:

True. Years ago the USENET newsgroups were an excellent form
of communication.
During the past 10 years the newsgroups' content and quality of
"usership" has gone down to trashy style it is today. Furthermore,
the "membership" of users has been closed to the majority of the
public via various censorship measures taken by the few companies
(such as Supernews et al.) that now monopolize the newsgroups world.
But then, that's life: There's birth, maturity, and death. The USENET
entity is close to the death stage (actually it might have already died
and what we're seeing today is the few decaying remains that haven't
been burried yet, for lack of burial procedures on the net.)

The imminent death of usenet has been predicted as long as I can
remember being aware of usenet, around 1984. Fortunately, because
there is no central usenet authority, it is difficult to kill it. As
long as news administrators are willing to dedicate the resources to
it, it will endure.

It was the influx of AOL and then At Home newbies sometime around 1993
or so that seemed to presage usenet's diminishing signal to noise
ratio. But, the pilots who post in this newsgroup by and large seem
to attempt sincere assistance and relevant communication with their
fellows, unlike some of the other newsgroups.

If anything will deliver a staggering blow to usenet, it is the sheer
volume of binary traffic that currently comprises over 90% if its
volume. When I first started relaying the news in 1984 at 2400 baud,
the volume was 1 to 2 megabytes daily. Today it's in the hundreds of
gigabytes IINM.

The "never ending September", or some such. If I recall correctly,
Compuserve was the first of the kiddie services to connect.

Some of the technical groups remain usable as well.

You are fine as long as you stay away from the political and religious
groups, as well as those devoted to controversial things like homosexuality
or Boy Scouts.

Most of us would prefer that people who post on political groups not
crosspost into the aviation groups.

Keep in mind that it only takes a single user with time on their hands
to trash a newsgroup, and that much of the disruption we see here is
actually being done by a dozen or two people at most, mainly in threads
which are heavily crossposted.

Huh? All of the ISPs I'm aware of locally (including TimeWarner's RR)
make USENET available to their users. It isn't always reliable in some
of those cases, but it's hardly being monopolized.

The last 10 years have been fairly bad years because we've seen
continous degradation in the quality of the newsgroups' content.
We are comparing the quality of the last 10 years with that of
the period between pre-1980s and 1992 or so -- the difference is
enormous in the quality of posts as well as the quality of posters.

That's the risk we take. In a free (speech?) society what one person calls
"trash" another calls "news" or "data" of a different nature. It's not the
spammers that cause "trash" but the censoring entities that do. It's an
indirect result of deciding for everyone else "who" can use the groups
and "who" shall not be allowed to use the groups. It's a long process
(many years) and is therefore hard to track.

There's an important element the poster is skipping. Many of the newer
ISPs (created during the past 10 years or so) have opted to use specific
newsgroup feeds (like Supernews, for example.) When those feeds
decide to censor particular groups or persons, they don't give the ISPs
any say in the matter -- they turn off the connection to that group or
person and there's nothing the ISP can do about it except protest (so
what?) . That's censorship -- one entity deciding who can go and who
can stay, and it is NOT the ISP. As we've said before USENET is
practically dead, for many reasons -- it did it to itself.

It is loading more messages.
