Dear Carl,

The yellow envelope was quite eye catching; does it match your helmet?

The rubber stamp return address is a little tacky, do consider those
nice, pre-printed stickers.

And the letter! We both got a hoot out of it. Oh so serious....written
by a true dweeb. Not to mention you made several erroneous assumptions.

Nothing will change, but at least your $8.34 bought a few laughs at
this end. And the USPS needs the business. ;-)

Cheers!

Let's share some of the assumptions and the letter . . .

Richard Malesweski's parents, Michael and Helen:

http://preview.ussearch.com/preview/newsearch?&searchtab=people&searchZip=&searchState=AR&searchLName=Malesweski&searchCity=&searchFName=&adID=6151004071&sourceid=&adsource=9&fc=orange&TID=0&fc=orange&TID=0

Richard Malesweski's father Michael's home address and telephone
number:

http://www.whitepages.com/5092/search/ReversePhone?phone=479-631-9378

Richard Malesweski's "business" address and telephone number, which
are the same (he has no listed address or telephone of his own):

http://www.ozarkbicycleservice.com/

A typical thread started by Richard Malesweski and comments on it in
an audio group:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.audio.opinion/msg/56750e7af0d23ba5

A typical challenge from Richard Malesweski for people to meet him
face to face:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.audio.opinion/browse_frm/thread/26b86679f8cc5cb1/3912a8b5154dc1cf?q=winkis&rnum=6#3912a8b5154dc1cf

A typical result of that bluster:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.audio.opinion/browse_frm/thread/163db9e662934e64/bc8d9421384fad0a?q=thanksgiving&rnum=20#bc8d9421384fad0a

An often-mentioned accusation that Richard Malesweski robbed a
customer before he left Massachusetts:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.audio.opinion/msg/0bdbb0ccbdaee5e9?dmode=source

And a letter that I wrote last week to Richard's father, since that's
what we do in my neck of the woods when little boys (aged 56) keep
writing obscenities on the walls:

Dear Mr. Malesweski,

Can you do anything about your son Richard?

He's taken to posting numerous obscene comments to the
bicycle newsgroup rec.bicycles.tech as "Ozark Bicycle."

Below, I'm sorry to say, is an example of what's coming from
the computer in your home. Any librarian can go to the
newsgroup's archives at

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech

and search for posts including the words "ozark" and
"asshole" (or similar words from the post below by Richard)
and show you dozens of examples of the same sort of thing.

You have my sympathy in a difficult situation.

Considering that you recently dared a couple of people with criticism

it odd that you're now pointing out differenced between online

Dear John,

Even odder is that Richard Malesweski's second post in this thread,
which you quote above and to which three people replied on RBT, has
vanished.

Perhaps that's a good sign.

Here's what Richard apparently decided to remove from Google:

"Stalk much, Carl? I think you have lost the distinction between the
Usenet/internet world and the *real* world. You need a break, pal.
Seek help."

"I could, of course, post your address, etc., but I won't do that."

Um, JFT quoted that already -- just scroll up.

A) You snipped Richard Malesweski's last sentence, which I included,
but John omitted:

"I could, of course, post your address, etc., but I won't do that."

When you "just scroll up," you also have to read what's on the screen.

Hint: look at my reply to that sentence and tell us what it was.

B) Look again--Richard Malesweski's second post was removed from
Google Groups, which allows authors to kill their own posts:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech/browse_frm/thread/a707fddae82a38f2/1f56ea7fea6cb636#1f56ea7fea6cb636

Richard cannot remove it from every server on the planet.

Hope this gives you pleasure.

No, your posting his parents' names and addresses (and phone numbers? I

You said that his second post had "vanished". Period. Not true. You then
re-quoted something that he apparently (allegedly) wanted removed that was
already included in JFT's post. That was all I pointed out.

If you /only/ meant the part about posting your address and phone number,
then you should have said that.

Of course, your /really/ egregious error was posting personal information
about someone -- and his family -- in the first place. What kind of person
takes pleasure in embarrassing and possibly endangering (lots of kooks out
there) a man and his parents over a silly misunderstanding (or whatever
transpired between you two) on a stupid Usenet newsgroup of all things?

I knew you were smarmy, two-faced and a weasel. Guess we can add petty to

I think Carl's point is that Ozark may have decided to try to cancel
the message, out of embarrasment and hope of not escalating things.
The lattter would be a good sign. But cancellations rarely work fully
on usenet.

>You do seem a tad obsessed; hope it gives you pleasure.

Considering that Ozark started this with threats to Carl a few weeks
ago, a firm response seems approrpriate and normal. Perhaps some
people would just ignore Ozark, but to call Carl obsessed for
"counter-attacking" a person who has started a thread attacking him is
partisan at how this started.

Sit back and take another look at what started this.

Carl was wrong in using the word "vanished" without qualification.
It's vanished from the Google groups archive, but still exists in
other forms of usenet. Thanks for the clarification.

Sorni, if you want to know about kooks, do some googling of this guy
Ozark. I've learned from this group that his name is Richard
Malesweski. Google "Richard Malesweski" and Ozark at the same time.
The first thread that shows up at the moment is one from Ozark
attacking Carl. Others are in rec.audio.opinion in which it seems like
Ozark posts under several different names and has a lot of people who
despise him. That doesn't prove anything, but browse around a bit in
there.

Lest you think I'm a stalker/kook too, I decided to take a look as a
precaution before meeting Ozark in person. Despite some rather severe
accusations against him, I'm stll going to go through the face-to-face
with him.

Even if you agree with him about helmets or about the people who are
sceptical of helmets, I'd urge you to try to learn more about this
fellow before you merely defend him out-of-hand on other topics.

My only point -- and granted I don't know everything about what transpired
between Fogel and Ozark -- is that Carl apparently sent him a letter of some
sort, and when Ozark made it public, Carl then posted link after link about
the man /and his family/. Just seems like that sort of crap is stepping
over the bounds of propriety to me -- sort of like people who've gone from
Usenet flame wars to contacting people's employers and trying to get them
fired. To me that's just over the line. Usenet is not "real life" -- or
shouldn't be -- and some people seem to have difficulty separating the two,

I hardly defend him out of hand (for example, I'm sure we'll fall to
oppsosing sides the next time a /political/ argument unfolds). I simply
think that Fogel went too far -- again -- and if indeed his "victim" is a
"bad guy", then that should be even /further/ reason to show some restraint.

(BTW, our apparent agreement over the helmet issue had very little to do
with our so-called alliance in the recent flame wars. It was much more
about arrogance, condescension, dishonest tactics, etc. While I sort of
cringed more than once at some of his comments, I at least understood his
frustration and striking back. Did he go too far a few times -- or more
than a few times? Sure. That doesn't mean someone should keep poking him
weeks later...AND involve his family, IMO.

Whatever.

BS

Who the heck cares? The links I looked at -- briefly -- mentioned the man's
mother's and father's names. What is Fogel trying to prove or accomplish?

I only see someone's family being dragged into it. (And weeks after the

rec.audio.opinion, eh?

Perhaps a little background is in order:

I did post to RAO at one time, but always under my own name. My last
post was, IIRC, around the end of '99/beginning of 2000. Last year, I
had a reason to take a look at RAO and how my name was being smeared
there. Pretty amazing how people will make things up out of whole
cloth. Are they insane, or just vicious?

Instead of looking at what happened to my name on RAO, let's look at
what happened to some other people, all respected professionals with
verifible identities. Then you can decide how much weight to accord
what goes on on RAO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First up is Howard Ferstler. Howard is a well known audio/video writer
and reviewer. Here's his bio:

http://tinyurl.com/qvewa

You can contact Howard at:

ferstler /at/ att.global/dot/net

and ask him about RAO

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

Next up is James "Jim" Johnston. "jj" is a leading fiure in the world
of audio codecs. Formerly with Bell Labs, he now is with Microsoft. His
bio:

http://tinyurl.com/le2wc

You can probably contact jj through MS and ask him about RAO.

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

Next is Arnold Krueger. "Arny" is a well known figure in the audio
world and was a featured guest at the Stereophile-sponsered "HE2005"
a/v show last year.

Here's his website:

http://tinyurl.com/pbzp2

There's a contact link for Arny on the site. Ask him about RAO.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0

Lastly, we have Bill Watkins. Bill was the inventor of the
Infinity-Watkins Dual Drive woofer, "sound muffs" and other
innovations. Here is his website:

http://tinyurl.com/p2esc

Ask Bill about his RAO "experiences".

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

RAO is a cesspool, full of accusations of criminal activity,
sockpuppetry, necrophilia, pedophilia and worse. People who haven't
posted in years are accused of using "sockpuppets" whenever a new
poster shows their face. The driving force behind this insanity is an
anonymous person (or persons) posting under the name "George M.
Middius". Here are a few examples of what this entity posts on RAO:

(to help decode the babble, I will recluctantly post this:

Middius refers to Howard ferstler as "clerkie", to Jim Johnston as
"phoebe", witchy" and the "telco witch", to Arny Krueger as "Arnii",
"Krooger' and several other names and, finally, to Bill Watkins as
"Booby Wumpkins".)

And now, some samples of what goes on on RAO:

http://tinyurl.com/pu8jv

http://tinyurl.com/osk63

http://tinyurl.com/qs8lu

http://tinyurl.com/llrok

http://tinyurl.com/nsrbo

How much credibility would you give anything this "person" and his
cohorts post on Usenet, or anywhere else?

[snip]

If anyone bothers to read the post, they'll see this:

"Here's what Richard apparently decided to remove from Google:"

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech/msg/36b9d8f76f8d4896

That looks like a clear and obvious qualification to me. (John just
made the mistake of thinking that Sorni bothers to read things before
he starts typing.)

As for the rest, it's amusing to see Sorni working himself up into a
lather about privacy because I posted a link to public phone
directory that shows who actually lives at the address and telephone
number that Richard Malesweski posts on the only page of his public
web site.

Even more amusing is the implied notion that Richard's father Michael
is somehow harmed by this.

After all, here's what Richard claims was the reaction:

"We both got a hoot out of it."

Of course, if you prefer to think that Richard is lying and that his
father never saw the letter below, that's up to you. I'm willing to
believe that Richard and his father are alike, just as I'm willing to
believe that he's lying about his father getting a hoot out of it.
With only Richard's word for what happened, there's no way for us to
tell whether his father enjoys obscene posts, too.

Obviously, Richard is lying when he claimed in his opening post that
"Nothing will change"--Richard is now backing off the obscene nonsense
that led me to ask his father if he could do anything about his
56-year-old little boy. Disagreement is fine with me, and I'll put up
with his stalking my posts in unrelated threads. But I'm glad to see
less of his feces smeared on the newsgroup walls.

Ya got me there alright, Grumps. I already said I had ZERO INTEREST in
reading a bunch of personal information about a poster's mother and father.
Once I saw what you were up to, I simply shook my head that you'd stoop to
new low (even for you).

Wow, had to scroll through a lot MORE that I have no interest in reading.

Perhaps if Ozark considered any communication to be "real" this
wouldn't escalate and people like him would think a little more
carefully about what they say. I'm perfectly happy to say the same
things I've said online in face-to-face meetings. I don't hide behind
some pseudonym here either.

Ozark, in the past at least, speculated that some people (me and
another) wouldn't act the same in person as we do in this group. Well
I do. I take words seriously. If that means thinking usenet is "real
life" then so much the better. If Ozark or anyone can't deal with
that, they should shut up here.

The point is that Ozark may well be an intellectually immature
teenager living with his parents, or possibly an adult mooching off
his parents for far too long. If he's going to go around insulting
people on their age and other things, then it seems fair for him to
catch flack in return.

Of course, perhaps he's a responsible adult caring for his aging
parents, or lives in a very loving home where the family can't bear to
be apart. If so, more power to him.

I give you benefit of the doubt and you just don't care about accuracy
and instead turn things around with another insult and a begrudging
"apology." That's classy.

I'm reminded of your "who the hell are you" bit -- you're either
mentally weak or a very good liar.

Dear John,

There's nothing wrong with children living with their parents. My
mother's home from the hospital right now.

My point is that if children start writing the kind of stuff that
Richard Malesweski writes on the newsgroup, we'll end up a cesspool
like rec.audio.opinion, so it's sensible to ask their parents if they
can do anything.

According to Richard, his father Michael enjoys reading his son's
obscene posts. I expect that Richard is just lying as usual. What
parent would be amused by his 56-year-old son posting such things in
public?

Compare the two obscene posts below, and see where the newsgroup is
heading. Richard Malesweski is doing everything in RBT that he did in
RAO. These posts are just examples of what he likes to post.

Note that Richard Malesweski ("Tony Loban") is claiming elsewhere in
this thread that he always posted under his own name in
rec.audio.opinion--another typical lie.

A week or two away is not usually a problem, soI really do hope to make
the East Coast trip, but the time frame is still a bit loosey-goosey.
Depends on the schedule of a few friends and on nailing down an
acceptable and available place in Wellfleet, MA for a several days. I
will keep you posted, as promised, John.

None of which would even be in discussion if Fogel hadn't gone out of his
way to find out personal information about a NG member, SEND HIS PARENTS A
LETTER (big fat tattle tale LOL ), and then POST their personal info on
Usenet where any nutjob can see it and possibly use it.

I know everyone's afraid to criticize the Verbose Professor lest they be the
victim of his razor-sharp keyboard, but by any objective standard he crossed
the line of acceptable behavior. It's flat wrong.

Now you're telling me that you post responses to other people's posts
without even reading the whole post? And yet *I'm* the bad buy for not
re-posting *your* stuff in its entirety?

You just blew my mind. I can't believe you'd say something that
absurd in public.

I'm not charging you with forgetting. I'm charging you with lying --
with faking the second quote to sweep your obnoxiusness away.

I actually went back to that afterwards and was even more convinced
you were lying. Why? Because I criticised you very shortly after the
first time you used "hell" and you had another post referrring to
that. So you posted the words hell and then you posted someone about
my calling it a curse word. And then you claim to have forgotten that
issue. Amazing.

If your memory is really that poor then I can understand now why you
keep wanting people to re-post what you write. But if it's really
that bad (which I doubt -- I think you were lying) then I'd urge you
to write a lot less and read a lot more. Or take notes and be more
careful before you write.

[repost]
>remembered my exact quote

BTW -- if you're going to put something in quotation marks, as you did
with your cleaned up version of your question to Helen, the reader is
going to think it's an actual quotation -- not a paraphrase. Did they
teach you that when you were getting that degree you mentioned
earlier? I imagine they did. All the more reason to think you were
trying to deceive us or sweep your obnoxious question away.

Re-read the thread John. I already said I clicked on a few of Fogels /many/
links -- saw what they were (information about Ozark's mother and father) --
and closed them because I have no interest whatsoever in reading that crap.
It's out of bounds.

No. *You* re-read what *you wrote* a few posts ago. You're a
hypocrite or an idiot or both to think that it's valid to criticize
other people for not re-posting large amounts of material from you
when they are only responding to a particular point, and yet you will
not even do other people the courtesy of reading enough of their post
to draw reasonable conclusions.

If some part of their post is so objectionable to you that you don't
want to read more, then don't. That's your perogative. But if you
choose to respond from a position of ignorance, don't object when you
make mistakes and get called on it.

You know the more I read of your stuff the more child-like you seem.
And not child-like in the joyful/curious way. Rather child-like in
the sense of thinking that the world, and particularly logic, revolve
around you and are not general principles. You're way too subjective.

Let's put it back then:

"None of which would even be in discussion {your living with your parents}

if Fogel hadn't gone out of his way to find out personal information about a

NG member, SEND HIS PARENTS A LETTER (big fat tattle tale ), and then POST

their personal info on Usenet where any nutjob can see it and possibly use

I /don't/ care about Ozark's parents' address, phone number, medical
conditions, etc. I /do/ care about sleazy behavior like posting people's
personal information on Usenet. I trust that even you can discern the
distinction.

> And you complain about me being dishonest!

Yes, I do /because you keep exhibiting it/. HTH.

You're back to humping my every post, apparently, so answer this: do you
condone what Fogel did? In case you're going to pretend to not know, I'll
refresh it for you. He apparently sent Ozark's parents a letter (IRL, not
an e-mail), and then published their personal information (names, addresses,
living situations) on the web -- AFTER doing an extensive search for that
material, obviously.

So you think that's acceptable? Nothing wrong with it? Par for the Usenet
course?

I think it's over the line. Period.

BS (and a lot of it)

No need to go back that far. Here's what you deleted right after I told you

Sorry, but I just have to come back to this. Amazing -- combining an
insult to my honesty for not re-posting more of what you wrote, with
an admission that you didn't read someone else's stuff (to which you
responded anyway). Just amazing. You've got some nerve to put those
elements together.

Disengenous? You're the guy who claims to have forgotten using the
word "hell" in a sentence, despite being criticised for it and
responding to that right after the fact. You're the guy who ragged on
someone in this thread for the way they characterized an old post
being cancelled or not appearing. Ragged on him *twice.* And then
it's shown that that was not true and his characterization was
accurate..

And yet *I'm* disengenous? When you're the one who seems to forget
things or characterize them in ways that are wrong but happen to
support your point of view? Do you really believe yourself?

Yeah, maybe you're not a liar. Maybe you really are just sloppy. Or
maybe you follow the tenant "It's not a lie if you believe it
yourself."

But, his "razor-sharp keyboard" isn't much. eh? A little smarm, a few
back-handed insuults, some phony "helpfulness". After that, he's down
to forwarding private emails, unsolicited, to third parties and posting
personal information on the internet. What's next, some crank phone
calls?

Fogel fancies himself the policeman of Usenet, as well as the arbiter
of proper behavior. He can do no wrong.

You replied /twice/ to the same post, the second time to remark that *I* was
still posting away! LOL Too rich.

You also conveniently ignored and/or deleted what I wrote about this
"interest issue" of yours, so I'll go get it. (Sigh.)

"I /don't/ care about Ozark's parents' address, phone number, medical
conditions, etc. I /do/ care about sleazy behavior like posting people's
personal information on Usenet. I trust that even you can discern the
distinction."

Now watch you trim it /again/ and then say how "interested" I am.

It's a sleazy tactic, John, even for you.

OK, hump away, Humpsterson. This is too boring to continue...

BS

PS: Please learn how to spell 'disingenuous'. After all, you exemplify it
pretty damned well.

Again, JFT shows he knows little or nothing of common expressions. (The
first being "Who the hell are you?" from good ol' Bart.)

"Post humping" alludes to a dog on a person's leg, John. It's hardly
"sexuality for insults" and I certainly didn't coin it. Been used in AM-B
for many years.

HTH (doubt it).

Dear RB,

Sure. Click on the link below:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech

Your screen will show the threads for RBT. The threads are shown in
the order of the most recent posts.

Put in "jobst" in the right-hand box next to "search this group" and
you'll get this screen:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech/search?group=rec.bicycles.tech&q=jobst&qt_g=1

It should show about 38,300 results in the RBT archives for posts
containing "jobst".

But Jobst is actually only human, so click on the "advanced groups
search" in the middle near the top, and you get this screen:

http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?q=jobst&

Remove the "jobst" in the top box next to "with all the words," put
"rec.bicycles.tech" in the "group" box, stuff
"jobst....@stanfordalumni.org" in the author box, and hit enter.

You get this screen, which reduces Jobst's RBT postings to a more
human 4,890:

http://groups.google.com/groups?as_q=&num=10&scoring=r&hl=en&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_ugroup=rec.bicycles.tech&as_usubject=&as_uauthors=jobst....@stanfordalumni.org&lr=&as_drrb=q&as_qdr=&as_mind=1&as_minm=1&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=21&as_maxm=6&as_maxy=2006&safe=off

Hit the browser back button, stuff "fogel" into the "with all the
words" box, hit enter, and you get a screen that shows poor Jobst
dealing with "fogel" 161 times:

http://groups.google.com/groups?as_q=fogel&num=10&scoring=r&hl=en&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_ugroup=rec.bicycles.tech&as_usubject=&as_uauthors=jobst....@stanfordalumni.org&lr=&as_drrb=q&as_qdr=&as_mind=1&as_minm=1&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=21&as_maxm=6&as_maxy=2006&safe=off

Here's a trick that many people miss. Jobst has undoubtedly been
plagued by "fogel" more than 161 times. Click on the "17" at the
bottom to go to the end of the results, and you get this screen:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=fogel+group%3Arec.bicycles.tech+author%3Ajobst.brandt%40stanfordalumni.org&start=160&num=10&hl=en&lr=&as_drrb=q&as_mind=1&as_minm=1&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=21&as_maxm=6&as_maxy=2006&safe=off&

Notice at the bottom where it says that Google omitted some very
similar entries? Click on the "repeat-search-with-omitted-results"
link, and you get:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=fogel+group%3Arec.bicycles.tech+author%3Ajobst.brandt%40stanfordalumni.org&start=0&num=10&hl=en&lr=&as_drrb=q&as_mind=1&as_minm=1&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=21&as_maxm=6&as_maxy=2006&safe=off&filter=0

Now there are 380 results. Google tends to show only one hit per
thread, so it's easy to miss the post that you're looking for if it's
in a large thread and Google omits it because it stopped at the first
match in the thread.

Another trick that many people don't know involves linking to the post
that you want, not to a 10-post display. Click on the "show options"
at the top of the post that you want, and then click on "individual
message"--this takes you to a screen that shows just the message that
you want, and you can cut and paste its address into a post:

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.bicycles.tech/msg/c467be1f35e0a9e3

Cheers,

Seems to happen when copying and pasting text that contains an emoticon.

For example, :) is a smiley face. However, if one copies that sentence and
pastes it in a reply, then it becomes an attachment for some reason.

Hope you recover from the trauma. :-D

You post from Outlook Express I believe. There should be a way to
disable that under Tools > Options.

Or perhaps try a different newsreader.

Typical -- a snide remark instead of a simple apology.

Yeah, I mean you could browse around your newsreader for a few minutes
to fix it, but it's not worth your time -- only a few hundred or
thousand people see the attachment and since it's not a virus that's
their problem.

No. The guy made a simple and approprite request of you but your ego
or stupidity prevents you from apologizing -- you always seem to need
a comeback even when you're wrong. That reflects badly on you.
