So. An obvious Usenet pro with only 209 posts in
the last year.
Clearly, this is a sockpuppet devoted to linux groups.
Mostly debian linux.
Which is what I'm running here.

This fellow surely knows that determining the originating ISP of
most spam is damn near impossible.
If it wasn't, spam wouldn't be a problem.
Duh.

The only people I have seen on the Usenet that make a point
of hating spammers have turned out to be spammers.
And several of the worst spammers on the Internet hang out on
linux.debian.user.
(It's actually a newsfeed from a mailing list. See debian.org.)

Ooooh. How many different keys do you have?
They aren't exactly hard to make.
Is that keyserver your own?

One thing spammers _hate_ are Challenge-Response Systems,
because they can't beat them. Trolls hate them for the
same reason. Let's see how this fellow reacts to a simple
introduction to C-Rs:
