Date: 1996/04/22 Message-ID: <224304Z22041996@anon.penet.fi>#1/1 X-Deja-AN: 150868365 x-anonymously-to: comp.lang.ada,comp.lang.eiffel,comp.lang.lisp,comp.object,comp.lang.basic.misc,comp.software-eng organization: Anonymous forwarding service reply-to: an582481@anon.penet.fi newsgroups: comp.lang.ada,comp.lang.eiffel,comp.lang.lisp,comp.object,comp.lang.basic.misc,comp.software-eng Date: 1996-04-22T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: I am writing to these news groups to apologize for my insane brother, who calls himself the Right Reverend Colin James III. I am terribly sorry for his total abuse of net etiquette in these news groups, and I am deeply sympathetic all the people whom he has caused any difficulty. I am trying to help him stop. Unfortunately, Colin is almost totally delusional. He actually believes he is the head of his own splinter of the Episcopal church! This makes it quite difficult or impossible to communicate sensibly with him. In fact, all efforts at direct communication, (such as email, etc), result not in increased understanding, but in vicious attack, with Colin spewing his garbage all over Usenet, and the person's employer, ex-communicating them, threatening to sue, etc. Thus, such attempts are not recommended. Colin is "Principal Scientist" proprietor, and sole employee of CEC-Services, so complaining to his employer, (as he does to so many others), does not help. Colin thinks he has invented data structures and algorithms for data-base like data storage and retrieval, which he thinks are more efficient than anything else available. Alas, he has made it clear that he does not even understand what "efficient" means, and if anyone asks about it, they again receive Colin's total abuse treatment. Colin proclaims Eiffel as the ultimate programming language, but asks questions in the comp.lang.eiffel Usenet group that make it clear he has no clue about object oriented programming at all, let alone Eiffel, (which is a superb programming language!) The best he can do programming wise is post programs to comp.lang.basic.misc, that he has copied from "Numerical Recipes", and converted badly into basic. Colin is in serious need of our help. Alas he rejects it. In fact he may be dangerous, and before he is locked away, he will may well kill someone who innocently emails him asking him "Please stop posting his off topic messages to technical news groups." At the very least he will continue to attempt to damage many people's professional careers. The Usenet community has been successful at getting Colin closed out of 2 ISP accounts over the last year - RockyMtn Net (CKP@RMII.COM), and Dimensional Communications, (daud@dimensional.com). (And congratulations to those ISPs for acting responsibly!) Alas, he has now simply opened 2 new accounts, from which he continues his abuse: cjames@boss.bod.net cjames3@ix.netcom.com Whenever you see any post from Colin that you feel is abusive of the charter of the group to which it is posted, please email a copy of it, (complete with header) to the provider from which it was posted, with a request that his posting privileges be revoked. For the netcom account, that is: postmaster@netcom.com For the bod account, that is: lc@bod.net Do not send any email directly to Colin if you value your time or sanity. If you all help, we can hope to convince Colin that it is not all of us who are insane, with him the only sane one. At the very least, we can get him banished from civilized society, where he has shown he refuses to interact responsibly. Thank you for you help.
