emory update

here is what i got back from emory this morning after i forwarded another message. they are asking that you not forward any more of lloyds posts, as he assures me that he is working on it. here is the email.

------------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan, I understand your impatience on this issue, but we have been working on it. I have turned it our to our General Counsel's office to handle. I will let you know more info as I have it. Could you please let the other people in your group know about what is happening as well? Thanks, Jay ________________________ Jay D.

dear sir, i contacted you yesterday concerning professor lloyd parker using your servers to violate the charter of our newsgroup rec.autos.makers.jeep+willys. he has posted over a dozen political messages this morning alone in our jeep newsgroup. if you are unable to stop him, could you please put me in contact with someone who can? i understand mr. parker is a respected professor at your college but that means nothing to me, the jeep newsgroup that he is harassing with his vile political beliefs, and certainly not to emory colleges bandwidth provider. if he cannot respect our newsgroup charter he has no business posting and i highly doubt the administration at emory college would like to be associated with his actions which are clear violations of usenet structure. thank you, --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sent an e-mail to one of the people that have been replying the most asking him very nicely to stop. Maybe if nobody replies, he will fade away. Tomorrow, if he keeps posting, an e-mail goes to the president of emory and the head of Lloyd's department and I'll copy Lloyd of course to be fair.

Call Lloyd at 770-784-8305 and ask him politely to stop.

Well, there's more for ya'll. BUT he shouldn't be the only one targeted. the people who reply to him and continue crossposting should also be 'educated' Nick

You really think a spam bot might catch: snipped-for-privacy@learnlink.emory.edu That would be a shame is snipped-for-privacy@learnlink.emory.edu was picked up by a spam bot.

"the people who reply to him and continue crossposting should also be 'educated'" snipped-for-privacy@learnlink.emory.edu is the catlyst. Get rid of him, thread dies down.

Damn that snipped-for-privacy@learnlink.emory.edu snipped-for-privacy@learnlink.emory.edu snipped-for-privacy@learnlink.emory.edu snipped-for-privacy@learnlink.emory.edu

A new idea to combat this bullcrap....Someone who had some kindof anonymous access might want to do this. Go to

and then to one of the newsgroups that are being crossposted. Find two or three messages from the people crossposting (including a post from mr. parker) and reply to those posts. Trick is, add another couple newsgroups to the address so that further crossposting and replys get sent there also. newsgroups like alt.kill.spammers or alt.spam or how about a few goverment newsgroups? Ya, get it? taint their messages with a biger more powerful bug! I started to do this but you have to have an account at google to reply. I'm not siging up for that.

Afaik, the only way to make sure that a newsgroup spam bot picks up an address is by spoofing that address in a header.

Keep us updated (although I think this thread is in violation of our charter as well...)
