I wonder if his various sources might like to get him for copyright
infringement?  (Eg the UK paper ``The Observer'' that he/it/she has
quoted more than once, I'm sure without permission.)

Or what about getting him under MN / US obscentity laws for what has
been one of the longest-lasting fountains of (childish) spite so far
witnessed on USENET?

Or what about us simply all billing him for lost time, bandwidth and
disc space?  I'm sure a contingency-fee lawyer might like to take up
the case on behalf of 100-or-so of us) and get it into SA's thick skull
that having its/her/his views is fine.  Spending our money to insult us
and waste our time with them REPEATEDLY is NOT.  I *KNOW* that one runs
this risk with USENET.  But then one does with a private telephone or
snail-mail box too...  And there *is* recourse for malicious misuse of
those facilities.

And I still haven't put she/it/he in my kill file.  Aren't I the hero?
