Careful now, or he'll send a couple of complaints to your ISP, accusing you
of spamming and of breaching the /Netiquette./

Believe me, I know what I'm talking about... ;-)

Just a cautionary FYI. You may want to be very careful with left_coast.
left_coast has ways of taking care of people he does not like.

matt_left_coast, left_coast, has been cyber stalking me for for over a year,
so feel free to take the following with a grain of salt.
Sorry for the long urls.


If you are to continue dialog with left_coast you might want to plug this
lau1j3-35i.ln1@alta.sierrandays.org
in the Message ID: box at
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search

Knowing that, you can research his tactics in this thread
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.o...3f1a125921d989

Now, here is the /kicker/. Several of a Usenet group regulars were getting
fed up with his trolling posts and one of our very helpful regulars
put forth a thread to amend the newsgroup's
New Users - FAQ for alt.os.linux.mandrake/mandriva
document.
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.o...b376278b811700

Left_coast immediately fired off at least 2 abuse reports within about
24 hours +/- processing time for all envolved.

As I misunderstand it, 1'st abuse report was a spam report and the
2'nd was "Subject line" breach of etiquette.

Thread started about 10:22, left_coast sent an abuse report, abuse dept
contacted Aragorn, he responded to abuse dept email, and at 11:22 posted
about left_coast's /backstabbing/ *dastardly* attempt to have him silenced.

At post 38, we see left_coast posting from a Usenet server which does
not provide his ip address and with an Acceptable Use Policy which
lets him get away with just about anything.

Proceed at your own risk.

Thanks for the heads-up. That guy seems to be a real psycho.
(and incredibly boring)
I'll ignore him from now on.
