This month's number one poster to rec.skiing.snowboard, by a wide
margin, is the MI5 persecution loon. It won't be long before
rec.spying.snowboard becomes the group's new name. Does anyone
know why this particular forum has been targeted?

Joe Ramirez

He posts all over Usenet - luckily the server I use blocks his
posts....

Yes, I'm also getting them in the other couple of newsgroups to
which I subscibe. Really bizarre and annoying! I haven't set up a
filter yet, since he or she seemed to be taking a respite, but
maybe this signals another binge.

It's a he: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A164404

(although that's not his real name, which escapes me at the moment)

There are theories around there that he's not responsible for all
the posts though....

Very interesting....thanks for the link. Figured it was a "he," I just
always keep things gender-inclusive until it's confirmed. It's the
editor in me! Skimmed the link and checked out his Web stie, briefly.

And here I thought our own CIA was best at driving people into wildly
paranoid fantasy lands. Thay ain't got nothing on MI5!


lol - alt.engineering.electrical used to be good for that!

Anyway, enough about that - I hope to post some snow reports in the
coming weeks.

Absolutely, keeping my eye on the forecasts for Europe myself....
