I find it astonishing that such an obviously disturbed individual has
access to an account at brahms.berkeley.EDU, let alone the news net.
If the net is to evolve into the respectable forum many of us hope it
will become, there must be a way of blocking this sort of misuse. Not
all groups can be moderated, but the unmoderated ones should still
ensure that serious consequences overtake this sort of abuse. A copy of this
will be sent to the system administrator at berkeley.EDU. I hope
other net news users will also bring some collective pressure to bear
on this sort of behavior. (Apologies to any of the above-named if
someone else has been clandestinely misusing their names and accounts,
but then they will no doubt want to be alerted so they can change passwords.)
