Someone using the latest slrn who posts on almost nothing but
technical groups and edits his own headers and is therefore a
very experienced Useneter, expects us to believe that he has only
posted 213 times in the last year?

Spammers sure are stupid (see below)

No you don't. It's almost impossible to determine the
originating IP of spam.

If it wasn't, spam wouldn't be anywhere near the problem it is.

DUH <<<<<!!!!!

> X-UCE2: Wow, are spammers ever stoopid!

They sure are. Unlike anyone else on the Usenet, they make a
big point of hating spam.

> X-PGP-Key: GPG key: http://keyserver.noreply.org:11371/p...EE77B1AC94E4B7

Takes 2 minutes to create a GPG/PGP key. They are worthless
unless they are _very_ carefully investigated.

There's no point in it unless you are part of his circle of trust
and in that case you should just ignore it. It means nothing.

He's counting on your ignorance.

$ host 209.115.174.241
Name: dsl2.spots.ab.ca

Port State Service
22/tcp filtered ssh << secure remote login
25/tcp open smtp << mail server
53/tcp filtered domain << whois server (don't believe a word of it)
80/tcp open http

445/tcp filtered microsoft-ds
587/tcp open submission

That's about what I'd expect a spammer's computer to run.

Who is Alan Connor?

Alan "The Usenet Beavis" Connor is a good friend of Bigfoot:
http://tinyurl.com/23r3f

A couple of years ago he was kidnapped and raped by Xena,
the Warrior Princess: http://tinyurl.com/2gjcy

Beavis believes that the MSBlast virus of yesteryear was explicitly
targeting him, for some inexplicable reason: http://tinyurl.com/ifrt

Beavis belongs to a UFO cult: http://tinyurl.com/2hhdx
Beavis's life in a UFO cult: http://tinyurl.com/24jqm
He is a skilled dental surgeon: http://tinyurl.com/3h6a5
Beavis knows all about network security: http://tinyurl.com/5qqb6
And he's also a search engine expert: http://tinyurl.com/9pjnt

Alan doesn't believe in anyone else's existence ...

Alan accuses practically everyone of being sock puppets.
Apparently, Alan is the only real person in the newsgroups in which he posts.
(Even Roosta and his towel aren't real.) Recently, Alan has told everyone that
we are all Morely Dotes' sock puppets. In earlier cycles,
we were all apparently sock puppets of Ben Finney.
The choice appears to be arbitrary.

You win, Beavis.

Smacking your bitch up isn't that complicated, Beavis. Anyone can do it.

And see above, left, and right.

But he's not a Beavis, so he can figure it out fairly quickly.

Spam isn't anywhere the problem you think it is, Beavis.

> DUH <<<<<!!!!!

Double-duh.

And you're doing a good job of it.

Don't strain your brain too much, Beavis. Or it'll deflate.

Perhaps, Beavis, you should give it a try after you finally finish off "The
Little Engine That Could"?

Beavis knows something about DNS. He's so smart.

Looks like Beavis earned himself a complaint to abuse@earthlink.net, for
port scanning.

> That's about you I'd expect a Beavis to do.

Yup. And getting your account pulled on account of portscanning would be a
cherry on top.

Thank you for your kookfart, Beavis.
