Maryanne is an avid SWL from Atlanta who contributes regularly to
various
online and print publications centered around Shortwave. Most notably
she
forwards press releases and the schedule of Voice Of Russia on a
regular
basis to the groups and clubs she participates in. You can find
reports
from her in Monitoring Times.

The immature males who can't accept a woman as a DX'er in their hobby
ridicule and put her down because she can be quite obnoxious at times,
is
tall for a woman, horrendously top-heavy and preferred to wear crew
cuts.
Under that exterior, which has shed a large quantity of poundage, and
added
an inch or two of head hair in the last year, she has a heart of gold.

I used to rag on her until one night when a bunch of us got into a
chat
room
and started discussing the bad things we said about her. After a few
minutes
of laughing it hit us that we were all being jerks and none of us have
said
anything derogatory about her since. Gee, I think I've done penance.

Normally, I'd agree -- but after she threatened/fantasized about
assaulting then murdering me, I can enjoy this without any guilt
whatsoever. **** Loafhead, who's even uglier on the inside than the
outside.


Loafhead's presence on a Usenet group is akin to that of a loud smelly
fart
in a flower garden...

She's the turd in the punch bowl.


We'd better be careful...over on rec.radio.shortwave she is making "I'm
going to contact my lawyer..." noises.

About what...this time?

Oh apparently about the person who made the initial silly "Maryanne Kehoe
died" post, suing for "financial damages", etc....like any attorney would
waste time pursuing some dumb anonymous post using an e-mail anonymizer
based in Italy or Australia or wherever...yeah Johnny Cochran is going to
get RIGHT on that, LOL...

In any case contacting the police would be the first option if a person
truly felt "threatened" but in this case they'd laugh and then hang up the
phone...cops (and attorneys) have better things to do than deal with phony
"internet" complaints and the lonely pathetic cranks who make them. However
that does not prevent some from making royal pest of themselves over
nonsensical non - issues...

[AFAIK there has been only one case of successful prosecution against a
Usenet poster (AOL) and this was after years of the defendant harrassing and
abusing another poster with real and verifiable threats...]

The "I am going to contact my attorney..." shtick ranks right up there with
"Do you know who I am?" in the "Useless Threats" category...

Some folx just have too much time on their hands...or lead very active
fantasy lives I guess :-)
