Dear subscribers to the Cypherpunks list -- Mikhael Frieden, mikhaelf@mindspring.com, is an alias for Matt Giwer, a name I hope many of you will recognize. On the F-C list, he is now the origin of perhaps 25% of the traffic, as much as 50% some days, most of which are standard, clueless, trolling, or lying responses which are designed to suck people into endless replies like those on what the Anonymizer does or does not do. William Geiger writes, "Absolutly, I can't beleive that Mikhael is *that* clueless." Well, yes. When you're trying to troll, you are that clueless. We here on the F-C list are hoping to sort of ignore him and hope he'll go away -- all I see of him are the number of messages hitting my to-be-deleted folder and the endless replies cross-posted from cypherpunks. See: http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/g/giwer-matt/net-abuse/ http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/g/giwer-matt/ Giwer will even accuse *himself* of lying. Please do the people on F-C a favor by not cross-posting any replies that are off-topic for F-C, and hell, while I'm at it, by not replying to Giwer at all for any reason. If you're not careful he'll join cypherpunks. -- Michael Sims [I'm not on cypherpunks - reply by direct email only, please]
