CJ3 - Lunatic Reverend or Mad Scientist?

I am writing to these news groups to apologize for my insane brother, who
calls himself the Right Reverend Colin James III.  I am terribly sorry for
his total abuse of net etiquette in these Usenet groups, and I am deeply
sympathetic all the people whom he has caused any difficulty.  I am trying
to help him stop.

Unfortunately, Colin is almost totally delusional.  He actually believes he
is the head of his own splinter of the Episcopal church!  This makes it
quite difficult or impossible to communicate sensibly with him.  In fact,
all efforts at direct communication, (such as email, etc), result not in
increased understanding, but in vicious attack, with Colin venting his bile
all over Usenet, and the person's employer, ex-communicating them,
threatening to sue, etc.

Thus, such attempts at direct communication are not recommended.  Colin is
"Principal Scientist" proprietor, and sole employee of CEC-Services, so
complaining to his employer, (as he has done to so many others), does not
help.

Colin thinks he has invented data structures and algorithms for data-base
like data storage and retrieval, which he thinks are more efficient than
anything else available.  Alas, he has made it clear that he does not even
understand what "efficient" means, and if anyone asks about it, they again
receive Colin's total abuse treatment.

Colin proclaims Eiffel as the ultimate programming language, but asks
questions in the comp.lang.eiffel Usenet group that make it clear he has no
clue about object oriented programming at all, let alone Eiffel, (which is
a superb programming language!)

The best he can do programming wise is post programs to
comp.lang.basic.misc, that he has copied from "Numerical Recipes", and
converted badly into basic.

Colin is in serious need of our help.  Alas he rejects it.  In fact he may
be dangerous, and before he is locked away, he will may well kill someone
who innocently emails him asking him "Please stop posting his off topic
messages to technical news groups."  At the very least he will continue to
attempt to damage many people's professional careers.

The Usenet community has been successful at getting Colin closed out of 2
ISP accounts over the last year - RockyMtn Net (CKP@RMII.COM), and
Dimensional Communications, (daud@dimensional.com).  (And congratulations
to those ISPs for acting responsibly!)

Alas, he has now simply opened 2 new accounts, from which he continues his
abuse:

cjames@boss.bod.net
cjames3@ix.netcom.com

Whenever you see any post from Colin that you feel is abusive of the
charter of the group to which it is posted, please email a copy of it,
(complete with header) to the provider from which it was posted, with a
request that his posting privileges be revoked.

For the netcom account, that is:

	postmaster@netcom.com

For the bod account, that is:

	lc@bod.net

Do not send any email directly to Colin if you value your time or sanity.

If you all help, we can hope indirectly to convince Colin that it is not
all of *us* who are insane, with *him* the only sane one.  At the very
least, we can get him banished from civilized society, where he has
repeatedly shown he refuses to interact responsibly.

Thank you for you help.

Ayatollah Reigns

I am not sure whether the poster is on the level, but we just had a 
month of CJ3 on the Colorado groups and he is indeed as nutty as a 
fruitcake (several of us were described as "demons" etc) and this sounds 
like it is describing him to a "t"....I am inclined to accept it at 
face-value, given our experience with "CJ"

The same one - He bothers news groups one at a time and has gone as far 
as to call peoples manager and try and get them fired.  I did some 
research on this kook - he belongs in the custody of the state!

Hi,

I'm trying to find a program that will allow me to scan photos and then 
tape them onto a video with an appropiate soundtrack.

Does anyone know of an appication which might be what I am looking for?

Thanks
