Given that several post showed up here 20 or so minutes before you posted
this makes me wonder.

Yes...his blog was shut down by blogspot over the weekend.

He continues to post, but I suspect it's because he's upset with the blog
shutdown (and, very immature, but that's been obvious for quite a while
now).

Who cares about his blog if he still posting? IMO, the blog is no problem
but the posts are.

If you know how to determine his Internet Service Provider (use a
website like www.dnsstuff.com and plug in his IP address from the
headers of his post), then forward his posts to the abuse contact of
his ISP along with a quick note stating that he is an ongoing spammer
whose posts usually include obscenities and vulgarity.

He posts from at least two ISP's (illinois.net and swbell.net), but
it's not too difficult. Takes about 30 seconds for each of his posts.

Most ISPs are pretty responsive to abuse complaints. He won't last
long.

It's quite simple to build up a list of subject words for a Usenet
filter. Since he keeps changing e-mail addresses, filtering those only
works for a day or so, but I add them anyway, in case he recycles them.
I'm seeing almost none of his posts anymore, and when I check my filter
log, I see that they've been deleted.

AYE! I don't care about his blog, but the constant posting of the links
to his blog are what bothered me. I just filter all his email address
and some keywords, but he changes emails as often as I change my shorts.
That makes filtering difficult.

You can't, thats why I just use google for looking up old threads. For
my regular posting and reading I use giganews. With Mozilla Thunderbird
client.

You can't.

Google *Usenet newsreader* for an explanation and options that are available
to you.

Until then you will have to use the filter of the mind. Of course you will
still see the subject line so you must remember no one can force you read
something you choose not to read. Unless, of course, they were holding a
gun to your head or something like that, but you would be under far
different circumstances if that were the case.

Doing anything other than ignoring this stuff tends to keep it going. It's
small stuff. Leave it alone and it wanders off somewhere (usually to pop up
later in some other form). Keep ignoring it and it becomes less and less
invasive. These guys want you to get on your high horse and not your high
racer. So go ride your high racer or whatever, weather permitting, of
course.

And finally, as always, do as I say, not as I do.

HH, what you say is true when it comes to a minor nuisance, something I have
been accused of being myself from time to time. But it does not work when
confronted with a major criminal spamming troll like Ed Gin and Associates.
They can easily take down a newsgroup so that no one will ever bother with
it.

I refer you to RBM where they knew how to handle this kind of crapola. They
contacted the ISP and the services involved that made it possible for the
bloggers to do what they were doing. All it ever takes is for just a few of
us to take some REAL action when action is required and that will end it.

Kill filing and ignoring will work with minor cases, but not with major
cases. This has been proven right here on ARBR. We are not back where we
were a year ago and it is all due to Ed Gin & Associates. I will forever
hold it against Mr. Sherman, the heart and soul of ARBR, that he took a
powder on this entire issue.

The criminal vandal spamming trolls took down ARBR, but they did not take
down RBM. It is the difference between night and day. Bravo RBM!

I'm still trying to figure out which bent he had the problem with and what
the problem was. I could see myself going off the deep end at some
manufacturers of niche bikes; it's happened before to me but not like that.
I usually concentrate on telling people what my beef is. The pictures were
funny, though.

As I said here before, there is more than meets the eye. However, I
will leave it up to the parties involved to make further disclosures,
since my information was obtained privately.

someone using my email ddress as their Google nickname. If you click
on read more > show options > Show original and compare the header
information to mine you will find it to be quite differnet. First note
the differnece of the from email address. Mine is the real

Now who do you think lives in Chicago, has a DSL account with SBC and
has a Macintosh PC? You guessed it ... E D G I N !!! I have to tell
you that my patience is wearing thin with this sick individual. I am
not a pervert, child molestor, nor would I know Brian Balls wife,
Stacie if I passed her on the street. If this [censored] continues, I will
have to decide whether to see to it that his ISP pulls his account or
haul Ed Gin's sorry ass into court for defamation of character, but
this has got to stop. Anyone esle who is fed up with this [censored], should
provide copies of header information to the SBC abuse department. They
will be able to go through their server logs to identify the culprit.
Even Tom Sherman will have to accept that as definitive proof that his
good buddy has been the one responsible all along.

Now that the HRS blog has been yanked, it is time to focus on the
culprit and have his ISP pull his internet account as well. Enough is
enough, already.

Jim, why not take this rascal to court? The information is all there on
Google to make your case air tight. Ed Gin is obviously nothing but a
stalker. I simply cannot imagine a judge or jury not finding in your favor.
A substantial fine or some time in jail would serve him right and vindicate
you. You need to see a lawyer about this. Think about it.
