Good work. If only it were that simple.

You'll be meeting more of his sock puppets very soon, I suspect.
Quite a character. I've seen him carry on 4 part flame wars with
himself.

He's pretty knowledgable about computers and the Internet, and his favorite
troll-strategy seems to be to post questions to Linux/UNIX groups that
sound sort of reasonable (he pretends to be a newbie) and then drive the
experts nuts with more of the same crap, which only an expert could pull
off.

I've gotten so I can recognize one of his gambits right off. Usually.
He mixes the appearance of naivete with jargon that only a pro would
know....

He may very well be hacking into a newsserver someplace in order to pull
off what he does with the NNTP-Posting-Host header.

The same header on my posts is fake, (in that it is not the IP of the box
I actually post from -- I don't want nutcases crackers like Mikey assaulting
my firewall) but I don't do anything illegal to pull it off, and don't troll,
although there are a few bigots that accuse me of this, when I offer
viewpoints that run contrary to the ones they hold in their tunnel vision.
Or Netiquette violators that don't like having their petty crimes exposed :-)

He may be out getting another keyboard at the present.

Drools on them, you know....

:-)
