Wrong.  He has changed his email address.  In the last week he has been
"minspring" and "mindsring"

His abuse includes but not limited to actively dodging kill filters.  He can
come on here and basically say what he likes.  Anyone can put a kill filter on
him if they like.  He abuses our right *not* to be bothered by him.

FYI, every usenet post has a message id.  Just to use yours for an example, your
last ID to this thread was <35ae0606.102835379@news.ne.mediaone.net>.  That
presented to mediaone is enough for them to trace where the message came from
and they can monitor how that user posts.

If we are being an annoyance to him guess what, he can put us in his kill file.
He does not allow us the same right.  He does not "slip" out of killfiles, he
climbs out, purposefully.  I am satisfied at the moment with my measures to mute
Pitchford.  I responded to this thread to give some info and opinion.  I have no
intentions at this time to "netcop" Pitchford.
