As a public service, this periodic post exposes the identity
of the "cordially, as always" troll currently posting as
rm@biteme.org. Here is the evidence, step by step. He made
the error of starting out using his real identity and then
changing things slowly over time in order to hide -- allowing
us to track him through the changes.


Here is Roger Maynard's very first post.
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.s...6?dmode=source

Note the sig: cordially, as always, rm

Note the server: ramsey.cs.laurentian.ca

Note the name: Roger Maynard

Note the email address: maynard@ramsey.cs.laurentian.ca




Here is his last post before losing his Laurentian University account:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.s...c?dmode=source

Note the server: ramsey.cs.laurentian.ca

Note the name: Roger Maynard

Note the email address: maynard@ramsey.cs.laurentian.ca




And here he is with his brand new interlog.com account,
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.s...3?dmode=source

Note the new server: gold.interlog.com

Note the new email address: rlm@interlog.com

Note the same old name: Roger Maynard

Note the same old content: the same flames to the same newsgroups,
continuing the same conversations using the same name.




Here is where Roger Maynard discovers morphing to avoid killfiles.
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.s...a?dmode=source

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...3?dmode=source
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.s...8?dmode=source

(In that last one he introduces his "Ronald Matthews" morph that he uses
to this day)

Note the same old server: gold.interlog.com

Note the same old sig: cordially, as always, rm

Note the same old content: the same flames to the same newsgroups,
continuing the same conversations using the same name.




Here he starts his "use the initials R and M" morphs:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.s...2?dmode=source
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.s...6?dmode=source
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.s...3?dmode=source
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...5?dmode=source

Note the same old server: gold.interlog.com

Note the same old sig: cordially, as always, rm

Note the same old content: the same flames to the same newsgroups,
continuing the same conversations using the same name.




And here he introduces his "Realto Margarino" morph:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.s...6?dmode=source

Note the same old server: gold.interlog.com




So we see a series of posts from the same account at the same ISP,
starting with the same Roger Maynard name and sig that was used at
Laurentian University, morphing through some random names, settling
down to names such as Ronald Matthews, Ronald McDonald, Rasmussen
Milos and Rosie Matsushita, then we see Realto Margarino - all with
the same email address, same path and same NNTP-Posting-Host.

In this series of posts we see the same "cordially, as always, rm"
sig, the same phrasing, the same newsgroups and the same enemies.

And here we are ten years later watching him follow the exact same
pattern with slightly improved morphing skills, and still using
Ronald Matthews and Realto Margarino as his favorite morphs.

Roger Maynard has been making as many people as possible miserable
for over ten years, devoting thousands of hours to annoying people
who never did him a bit of harm.

If anyone has a current postal address and phone number for rm,
please post it so I can add it to this FAQ.

Here's a real public service, give this rant a rest.
we've all read it, some have commented on it, others ignored it.
I'm sure there is something more important that can be posted here.

Can you please give us your evidence that he started out using his
"real identity?" Aren't you simply assuming that he started out
using his real name? In fact, what evidence can you give us to show
that he has _ever_ used his "real identity?"

And, since nobody else gives a fuck about whether he used his real
name, "in error" or not, how is it that you care?

Perhaps you are really one of us? Are you part of rm and is this
just a silly way of promoting the rm collective?

cordially, as always,

rm

So what. It's a public ng. That's what a killfile is for. If you want to
keep out trolls create your own place or private irc channel.

Reposting is a far more obnoxious thing to do than being a troll.
