and in late 1994 and early 1995 he picketed Ryland 
Homes with a sign
reading "I bought a lemon. You could too" (see the 
Baltimore Sun March 30,
April 4, and June 11, 1995). He claims to have 
been awarded a $300,000 by
Ryland:

Erie Insurance

Baltimore County Savings Bank

And possibly Dunkin Donuts

���http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=509313316

although the latter doesn't quite hit the rant 
level we have come to expect.

Last but certainly not least is his hate for the 
City of Baltimore

    http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=523040200

Q) Why does he hate Baltimore?

A) Rumor has it that his brother Douglas parted 
ways with his Baltimore 
Convention Center job under less than ideal 
circumstances.

Q) What e-mail addresses does he use?

A) Many. Don't even try to keep track. He usually 
posts from the
Enoch-Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, but lately 
he has been using an
anonymous remailer. He's not easy to miss even 
when posting anonymously (so
why bother, Mark?). Just search deja.com for 
"shimadzu" or "baltimore
convention" and there he be.

Q) If you object to him posting anonymously, why 
are you doing it?

A) Who said we objected to anonymous posts? We 
object to his tactics.

Q) So what should I do about Mark Kukucka?

A) The best thing to do is nothing. Ignore him and 
eventually he'll get
bored and go away. If you do challenge him, expect 
that he will put you on
his "enemies" list, post any personal information 
that he can dig up, send
you anonymous e-mail and maybe even create a web 
page just for you. He's
generally harmless, but unless you are up for that 
sort of contest just
leave him be.
