No prizes for the lottery winner on this one. The fact the cross-poasted threads are not a subject of attack has escaped your notice? http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.programmer/msg/90b1ba4e63328fc4?d mode=source Those "quotefix" posts are a feature of Hipcrime. The java enabled version (NewsMaestro) has been in Derbyshire's possession for quite some time. Given all the aid cljp has provided in assisting with sorting out the bits of code which did prevent the script from running it is no surprise to see the group targeted, as the group population declared Derbyshire persona non grata. More of a double whammy "thanks" posting series? Derbyshire is frolicking among the kooks in alt.usenet.kooks taking solid hits from the regulars with assorted kook awards coming his way. From: kensi Message-ID: From: Nadegda Message-ID: From: [Tor] Friendly Neighborhood Vote Wrangler {One Of Three} Message-ID: All three of the above are apparitions of Derbyshire's invention. All three have been focused on a failed "coup" of a/u/k. How familiar to cljp lifers does that appear? Most are now being forged in lampooning. The pegboi is not happy. The action cljp is seeing is a standard reactive for script enabled kooks hellbent on having their last word. Join the dots to either wait it out till the open server dies or filter on a set field, is all that could be done. Those with balls could also contact the Sympatico Bell abuse desk asking if those posts are being pumped into a Tor network or socks4 host via their Bank St. (Ottawa) server. Given past examples it is not likely the shitstorm would ease soon. ---the only post on the topic, cljp you are on your own. --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Dada-1 * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38) --- Synchronet 3.16a-Win32 NewsLink 1.98 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
