Recent flurry

Ok...how do we kill this "person of questionable parentage"? Path seems to
suggest an account at nym.alias (dungeons and dragon stuff supported by MIT
and NYU???...if so that seems to be another example of your tax dollars at
work) where the goal is to make you impossible to track down. Postmaster at
nym.alias doesn't seem to care.

Tom,

Thanks for tracking down the little scumbag.

Does the FCC care? (yeah, right!) Send them a complaint and a copy to the
postmaster @ nym.alias. That MAY start him caring. (fat chance!) But then
probably not. Send a copy of the FCC complaint to MIT and NYU, too. I'd be
willing to bet _they_ care! Big seats of education like those do not care
for bad press. Send a copy of the complaint to the broadcast and print
outlets serving the area home to MIT & NYU. Some journalist, probably NOT
an alum of either school, would be _very_ happy to follow up on a lead like
this. "MIT computers used by social misfits to flood internet with
filth...Details at Eleven!" "OUR I-team tracks obscene internet messages to
NYU group. Are state and Federal funds involved? Tune in at Six to see
what our I-team found in this three part series!" (May sweeps week is
coming up!) Of course, turning the heat up means you are asking for another
blast of crap from the little weasel. Oh well, ignore or DELETE still work
for me.

I reported him to the webmasters at NYU and MIT as well as FCC.gov
I hope Tom's right about this ending someday. The real pity is that the
anti-hacking laws make it illegal to try to go after these individuals.
Now THAT would be fun.

I keep thinking of the Pace salsa commercial. The one where the label
says NYC. You know. Get a rope. Too bad the stuff is made in NJ. My
wife like that garbage, I make my own.

Can't help you with that, I don't use OE. I keep rope in the Truck, not
CAT5, but when I was kid in the midwest I remember barbed wire being
used, didn't look like that was enjoyed much. I've been forwarding the
messages to the webmasters at MIT and FCC. I figure that after a few
dozen one or the other will get thoroughly annoyed and burn him.

Reading the NY Post (I'm a transplant and not much liking it so hold your
negative comments on that part) today I saw a story about a jumper on the
Empire State building yesterday...actually crossed my fingers and said a
prayer...but see "it" is still around....

No. The FCC doesn't regulate content on the Internet.

Why use rope? Given the situation, this would be a good chance to showcase
one more use for CAT-5e cable.

Filter all messages that have nym.alias.net in the Path header (I don't
know if you preferred newsreader allows you to do thiat).

nym.alias.net is an anonymous remailer: http://www.rahul.net/falk/Ny/

Nope -- they really don't care

You are quite correct - nym.alias.net is an anonymizer run by (if
I remember correctly) MIT. It has a very long history of being
abused, and an equally long history of the abuse being ignored
by it's admins (who probably consider it an experiment in human
behavior).

Most well-run newsservers drop all articles from that source,
you would be wise to recommend to your tech support folk that
they do likewise. Nothing of value comes from there.

I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record, but here it comes anyway:

Get a copy of Nfilter. Get a copy of my troll filters. You won't see these
posts any more. At least not until the next time he changes his ISP. Then the
posts will come through again until I update the filters, and then you won't
see him again. Eventually he'll either (a) get tired of the game and go away,
(b) get caught by his parents, or (c) grow out of it.

Tom,

If you figure that out, please let me know. I've been trying to filter
nym.alias on OE too. Without success. :^(
