The administrator there is a moron.
The sci.electronics.* hierarchy got a bunch of forgeries recently
--all from one aoie.org user (a teenager with no supervision).

The guy that admins that domain got many complaints
--but didn't terminate **the spammer's** access.
It appears *this* is what he did instead.

Perhaps this is all he could do.
Perhaps aioe doesn't require users to register.
Perhaps the forger kept re-registering.

(The forgeries have stopped.)

They stopped appearing HERE. They may be still ongoing elsewhere.

This group is NOT the only group that was being trolled via aioe.
