I just got the following email from "Ross":

Bob,

My name is Ross. I am writing because
I am fed up with all the bull**** comments
you have been making about me in the
rec.crafts.metalworking newsgroup.

Keep your ****ing crap to yourself, or I
might just go ahead and haul your ass into
civil court for libel.

"Ross" doesn't even post to RCM, although there are a couple of his
posts to the cnc NG (where I don't post). My theory is that "Ross"
****ed off somebody who hijacked his email address to bait innocent
bystanders (e.g., me) into starting a war by angrily replying to "Ross".

Bob

I was just in the process of asking WFT when I decided to look for him
here and see what substance there was to the charge.
The website noted on his sig doesn't seem to exist, or it didn't for me.

I just received an identical message. I thought he was referring to the
fact that I had posted several identical messages to this group, for
which I apologise (my ISP's news server has been playing up, and often
my messages are going astray), so I e-mailed him back. The mail was
returned as undeliverable. I have no idea what this guy or robot is doing.

Ross is a troll from alt.usenet.kooks and alt.flame. The same nasty email has
been going out in other crafts groups too.

Geez; I haven't seen Casshole mentioned here for some great length of time.

Man! I haven't been on the newsgroups for about 3 years, and after
being back about 3 weeks I see the troll name Cass pop up again. Wow!

Yeah, I got exactly the same message. Never heard of him. Maybe Google
can do something about him.

Hey, that Netscan thing is cool. No ads and gasp ... it's Microsoft!!

Thanks,

OT - I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird as my reader and it didn't honor the
no-wrap 's. Too bad. I wonder if they would consider that a "bug"?

I believe that Cass is posting as "Tiny" now. He's from around Houston,
and "Tiny" has started posting the same sort of troll messages (ususally
requests for some sort of equipment) in houston.forsale and austin.forsale.

That's how I came upon his ham radio callsign a few years ago, and thus,
Roscoe's real name. Someone else apparently noticed the same thing earlier.
Boats, radio gear, electronics stuff, etc.

I thought it really was "Ross" where the full name
looked like R. F. St. James, or thereabouts.
