myself an amateur but devoted user of usenet newsgroups, this search:

https://csiph.com/search?q=from%3A%22Eddie+Martin%22&group=&after=&before=&sort=relevance&lang=

would suggest that only two posts within the past decade (10.8 years),
and using this "stage name"-style alias . . . if it looks like a duck,
or quacks like ai-enhanced trolling-chatbots, but maybe these popular
usenet newsservers, in this case, blueworld and csiph, both with very
long and complete article retention (especially bw, mostly from 1981),
are helpful and useful to the public, which is anathema to (redacted)

such trolling seems strangely out of place even in unmoderated groups,
as if the common practice to ignore trolls has become the global norm,
so they're taunting system administrators, to help the chatbots learn,
and they've been at it since circa 1993, their agenda is causing gigo
