The Mi5 poster has every right to post, but to bring you uptodate,
here is a brief resume of this usenet legend:
His name is Mike Corley. He is part of usenet history.
He also was a champion tap-dancer in 1962/63 and 1966.

Mike lives in Clapham, South London, he first began his postings
to usenet, BBS, and online forums back in 1996, which is long before
most of you, especially google gropers, learned of he internet let
alone knew how to use it.
But Mikes paranoia of alleged MI5 persecution can be traced back
as far 1990, when newspaper editors, TV newsdesks, magazine
reviewers, radio shows et al, first received Mike's reports of his
harassment by UK security services and MI5 operatives.

Mike has his own website:
http://www.five.org.uk/

There have been numerous newspaper articles and online thesis
about Mike's postings, this is a BBC article on the subject:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A164404

And amongst many other covers of the Mike Corley phenomenon
there has been a modern opera about this usenet legend:
http://www.thecorleyconspiracy.com/

What the current flood is all about is hinted at in the X-posts.
He percieves uk.misc to be an MI5 infiltrated group.
And Mike is flooding it. But also it is included in the X-posts because
he knows many always respond to his posts, and you in turn flood
the group uk.misc.

sounds like a case of paranoia. About the same as we have with big brother
personally monitoring ALL of your phone calls. Just make sure you don't
mention that your dessert for Christmas dinner bombed or you will make all
the rest in prison! I was trying to do the math on how many people it would
take to monitor all the phone calls - I gave up.

And just what did you think an M100 was/is? I didn't get mine until
1984, but I used it until well into the 90's.

Follow-ups changed to sci.electronics.repair only

I _made_ a laptop in 1983-84: ZX-81 cpu board + internal expansion bus +
microcassette drive (on the bus) + bar code wand (on the bus) + thermal
printer (on the bus) + 64kB ram + micro CRT display on gooseneck at rear
of case, all built into a converted TI-994/A housing with it's keyboard.
The cassette was embedded into the case at the left rear. To view the
display, you pressed your eye into the 'viewfinder' rubber hood and had
a 320x200 graphics or 80x24 char alpha display (b&w). O/S and apps were
loaded from the cassette, ROM contained a debug monitor. One could also
use the audio interface to load and store from magtape recorders and the
bus was brought external to permit expansion for RS232, etc. I needed
to add lots of bus logic and power control circuitry; the battery was a
drop-in nicad pack at the right rear of the case (similar in concept to
modern powertool packs). With the CRT off, I could get 12 hours of
continuous runtime. I also gave the cassette and bar code wand poweroff
controls which extended runtime.

Regards,

Michael

Who gives a flying ****? Let him post in the appropriate forums. We don't
care about it in the Toyota group, and I'm sure plenty others don't,
either.

If he has such heartburn with his government monitoring Internet

As far as I see, all he is is an attention hungry Spammer who ought to
just STFU and leave people who don't want to hear his crying alone.

If it ain't on network news right after the football game, most of America
hasn't a clue about things like the FBI's Carnivore program and similar
projects.

A search at Faux News for "carnivore" turned up mostly animal articles. Same
with MSNBC. CNN's search results put the software ahead of animal stories.
PBS, the left-wing news source for people who don't drool, came up with the
best list of articles in carnivore and the privacy issues surrounding other
such surveillance techniques.

But, many of these stories require an attention span greater than 11
seconds.

filter.
Whats the one thing he can't change? Answer: the number five. Filter in
the subject *and* from line. According to my filter log I have filtered
(deleted) about 26 posts in the last two days (all by regulars here
apparently). I put the (5) filter in after his latest attack that had so
many variations.

Not good for the Ford group where F-150 comes up occasionally but here...,
(Toyota) I think it will do okay. As always, mileage varies.

But the troll will just change the topic to something misleading. He will
probably write "five" rather than the numeral.

Does he have a way of knowing he is filtered? No matter what he comes
up with, I find a way to KF him.

Repair or despair? Natalie or Jim?

Thunderbird's not the best way of doing it. However I'm still
looking on a better way.

Every suggestions I've had so far is so convoluted to get anything
done it's useless, or does that bit easy, to the expense of every
other feature being either substandard or non-existant.

But even if you filter that toad, he changes his info to get around the
filter.

So can I, but why should we have to keep doing that?

There is no "why" to it. Usenet comes with some ugly. :) Kinda boils
down to having some degree of tolerance or..., making it a game. I have
little of the former so I go to the later. :) For all we know its a
computerized bot of some sort.

Nah - garden-variety trolls I can deal with, but when I see a TOS-able
offender, I give it a try. Can't hurt.

I'd rather try to get this freak off Usenet, instead of having to go to
great lengths to avoid him. That's not fair to us, especially since what
he's doing is against all NG program policies I've ever read.


We need a bunch of angry villagers, all armed with pitchforks and
torches to storm his place, to burn his computer at the stake! ;-)
