MI5 Have Systematically Destroyed My Life (31033)


We have received a large number of complaints regarding one of our
former customers flooding various newsgroups with "MI5 Persecution"
posts. We have removed this customer from our active database and he
will no longer be allowed to use our servers.

We appreciate your role in helping us to locate this user.

All very interesting, but they've been sending that same response for
months; all the while the posts continue.

This may be because the sender cross-posted his
messages to many news groups and replys show up in all of
them. It takes a long time for the reverberations to stop.
Also, the original sender made the rounds of many ISP's.

Nope what? I also complained while there were many new
posts from the original poster and got this reply. All of
the posts I've seen in the last several weeks were people
responding to the original posts or to replys or replys to
replys, etc. The guy probably posted to hundreds of groups.
When something is cross-posted the replys go to all the
groups unless the header is edited. Sometimes its hard to
tell if you are replying to an original or not. Also, keep
in mind that some news servers keep messages for a
relatively long time. Are you sure that the stuff you are
seeing is recent?

Oh, -those reverberations; I thought you meant the cross-posts
themselves. Sorry for being a smartass.

Still, this is one of the easiest annoyances to get rid of with
newsreader filtering, since the From: line never changes, and the
Subject: always has the same keyword. If you filter on the Subject:,
you'll never even see the follow-ups.

Until someone posts a new thread, with a sufficiently different format
(like this one) to get through my filters.

Oh well, _these_ reverberations shouldn't take too long.

Really? My filters are catching this thread just fine; I had to turn
them off temporarily to see your post.

You missed your chance to stop it.
