As a followup to DickHead's posts, I might note that I have been informed, via
email, of his non-existance.

According to another person on the same machine, richard@npri6.npri.com is
one of a number of made up names that the sysadmin uses.  He sent the same
boring flame through email nearly a week ago (it's amazing, since most
people could actually flame better under a made-up account).

Ehud commented on this problem a few months ago, attributing the source to
David Murphy.  Apparently it isn't David, but the system administrator there.

I'm not sure what should be done in this case, since it unusual for a
person in charge to do such immature stunts as forging posts by creating
accounts for non-existant people.  I have considered writing to the
company to alert the higher up's of his escapades.  That may or may not
work.

As an alternative, whoever supplies their newsfeed might be interested in
this information.

I'm not mad at this guy because he happens to be in a flame war with me.
There's just a problem when a system administrator makes up accounts and
uses them to be a net.dickhead.  Who watches the watchmen?

Any comments?
