It would have been nice if you had provided us with his headers, so as to
crosscheck whenever he shows up here... ;-)
However, it's been a long time since we've had to deal with any Wintendo
shills in here. We're quite capable of driving them away with their tails
between their legs when they show up, so bring 'em on... :pp

The ubuntu regulars have allowed the screwballs to pretty much trash
their news group. Noise level in that group is high enough for me to
all most not bother reading the news group let alone try to help
newbies.
I currently have 17 "Score: =-9999" kills in my kill file for ubuntu.
The profanities is a good reason to get his Internet access terminated.
For that to happen, ALL the regulars need to copy the post, header/body,
and report him to ISP abuse dept.
That only works when everyone does it, and the abuse dept finally
figures out it would be worth their time to slap D. Eth around a bit.
Only other option is everyone needs to quit responding to a troll
and tell any troll responders to not reply to the troll.

It's already plonked, just after reading it's first post.
Thank's for the info. But if it get's on here I'll not be able to see it
anymore...
FEED THE TROLLS!

Hmm... As was to be expected, he uses aioe.org, which hides his sender
IP... :-/ Guess we'll have to go by the message then in order to identify
him as the troll in question if he shows up here, rather than by the
headers.
Oh well, shouldn't be too hard... ;-)
