- Fussy the troll
- Posted by Alastair Smeaton on April 4th, 2004
Please see below an abuse email sent today re Fussy - would encourage
others to do the same. Abuse address is abuse@austarnet.com.au
(God - am I turning into John Corliss :-)
=========
Dear sir/madam,
Can I ask you to have a look at the newsgroup alt.comp.freeware for
repeated self-promotional posts by someone calling himself A.A. Fussy,
email address amarks@austarnet.com.au .
He appears to write software, lots and lots of it, and posts many many
legitimate messages to this group (and others I believe) announcing
new products and upgrades.
However, I would approximate 90% of his messages are for:
upgrades he thinks he might make, and for which he cannot provide a
working download link
requests for programming help, regarded as off topic in this group
responses to people who request that he refrains from posting the
above messages, simply repeating his message.
It is this last aspect which is most concerning - he appears to revel
in annoying people with these messages, with a complaint message about
his posting habits almost always replied to by him with a post with
content containing precisely the material which has been complained
about.
He claims to be a teenager interested in VB programming - I have no
evidence for this one way or another, but many believe this to be an
alias for someone interested only in winding people up, posting
messages which serve no purpose other than to evoke a response -
indeed, one regular member of alt.comp.freeware has taken to replying
to all his posts with one line crticisms.
I attach below a recent message as an example, but also provide a link
to a google groups search here
http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?q=...-8&sa=N&tab=wg
which will let you see fairly quickly the extent of the nuisance this
person causes.
Please have a look at this - I would be interested to hear of any
outcome.
Thank you

It's sort of like Florida, people retire there to die.
In the good old days (back in the 1980's) it would have been possible to
have the Qld Special Branch pay a gentle visit to AA's house, and scare
the proverbial out of his parents and him. Sadly, since Joh lost the
plot and the state, they disbanded the Special Branch, and I don't know
any corrupt cops in Coolangatta (or Tweed), Now, if it was in the Valley...

If you are sitting, just sit. If you are walking, just walk.
Above all, don't wobble.

See the A.C.F alternative FAQ at http://stalkingsheep.co.uk/antifaq.htm
In an unmoderated NG you can control what you read and what you write.
That's all you can control.
