found another tidbit about skippy in alt.life.sucks...in response to a similar
threat made to
alt.adoption... (guess he hit lots of NGs)
-joan
Here it is:
-----------------------------------
Good people of alt.adoption, there is no threat from alt.life.sucks.
Never has and never will be. Take it from a bona fide alser, this
fellow's is a troll, hell bent on disrupting our newsgroup. He, (and
his friends?) have already made alt.life.sucks practically unreadable,
by dragging cross posts into the group, to anybody without a damn good
killfilter. Come over and look at the mess, if you don't believe me.
This is just a new tactic, designed to disrupt our newsgroup further.
In conclusion, I would like to express my regret that this has spilled
over into your group. I would also respectfully request that all of
your subscribers ignore any future blatherings from this idiot.
Thanks.

(I intend to, after this post) :( It may be a troll but it could in fact be a proposed newsgroup destruction attack which get launched from certain alt.* newsgroups. If that happens the best defence is for all readers here would be: - to strictly avoid responding to such postings; - keep copies of full messages and the full messags headers and forward them to abu...@isp.wherever-applies; - alert the "news.admin.net-abuse.sightings" newsgroup (setting followups to "news.admin.net-abuse.usenet") with example messages/headers and ask their advice...then follow it. - email your own ISP with a sample message and full headers and ask for their help and advice. There are other some things the alt.ascii-art readership can do if something nasty actually develops here. Meanwhile use anti-troll measures...mainly...strictly ignore and do not be tempted to respond!
