Dear rgpbm

Looking at the headers for both Uhtur and io0ollil0o makes

Our trolling spammers are almost certainly
a. AOL subscribers - headsup sent to news@aol.com
b. Possibly from the UK (note the organisation header)
c. The same person (posting through same host to same newsfeeds etc)

AOL - these subscribers are violating your TOS. I'd say they're
violating the charter
of rec.games.pbm, except IIRC, rgpbm doesn't have one. They're certainly
waaaay offtopic
however. Please kill their accounts.

PS This is the last time i send one of these to the ng. Just so the
newer
members can have an idea about how to really shut the trolls up ;-)
Losing your service is a good start.
