The aim is to get his net access removed. This will at least cost him the loss of his toy for a while and possible the money for access time he has prepaid. For this to be effective the provider has to recieve as many emails as possible complaining about the same incident. And so showing that the behaviour in question is condemed. Below I have included the message I sent them, feel free to send them a copy with whatever changes you want to make. -- Neil.Franklin.remove.this@ccw.ch, http://www.ccw.ch/Neil.Franklin/ for Geek Code, Papernet, Voicenet, PGP public key see http: If I go missing, its once again my newsfeed that has craped -------- copy of the email sent to postmaster@xnet.com To: postmaster@xnet.com Subject: Pass this on to complaints dept - One of your users missbehaving Cc: Neil.Franklin@ccw.ch Der Postmaster and System Administrator I am filing herewith a complaint againts one of your users.

Appart from blaming an organisation of ca 30000 members for the claimed (and not proven) behaviour of _one_ person who may be a member of it (or may not) for what that person did (or did not) being bad form, it is clearly inacceptable to post in such way on Usenet.

I've been on Dejanews tonight looking for lost postings and found the original post from Joseph Dunphy. I did an "Author Profile" and found that he regularly posts and cross-posts to perhaps 75 - 100 newsgroups (with interesting titles), mostly in 3 to 9 page rants. Do yourselves a favor and don't grace this person with any further responses. FYI . . . In various posts he has described himself as a pagan, Jew or Christian. this seems to be a regular missbehaviour of said user. Also his "Reply-To:" and "Summary:" Fields show his attitude. As this also reflects on you as provider would you please take the neccessary steps to ensure that this user loses his access to Usenet. Yours, a Usenet user who dislikes spammers. -- Neil.Franklin.remove.this@ccw.ch, http://www.ccw.ch/Neil.Franklin/ for Geek Code, Papernet, Voicenet, PGP public key see http: If I go missing, its once again my newsfeed that has craped
