[PSUBS-MAILIST] Sinister Intent - re JPalominonoire, come in spinner



Hi all,

apologies in advance for going semi-OT.

I think one thing is being overlooked.  Just who is this JPalominonoire@aol.com?  has anyone here run across him/her/'them' before this emotive diatribe was unleashed?

Trolling for responses used to be a common problem on the newsgroups (and still is on some).  The designed intent was frequently to disrupt them.

I did a quick search of PSUBS - no previous posting by that email name.

aol.com - ? apologies to those legitimate users, but what does it take to set up some ficticious account?  won't an email sent from a USA based webmail provider mask the senders true IP address and append aol's USA IP?

looks sorta like a name.  No J. Palominonoire, or J Palomino for that matter in the USA white pages (google search off the aol website).  I couldnt get to any aol profile to find out who this is.

language use does not indicate a strong command (written at least)of english as would be expected by a native speaker.  Just what part of the USA did this 'patriot' say he was from?

just why do they feel SOOOO strongly on this subject?

palomino-noire?  i have some thoughts on that too, but i wont share them.

I doubt there will be any call from lawyers, or any sub designs submitted either.  But we r pissed off, some of us may even consider calling our own lawyers for peace of mind.  short consultations shouldnt cost much.  ties up a phone call.  takes you away from work for a little while.  any of u guys work in the military?

unless one of the PSUBS moderators can vouch for this person, i would suggest the intent was simply to sow dissent, uncertainty and to increase net traffic - as has happened.  to even revisit this or comment on my email just agravates the whole situation.

one question (Warren?) - when did this person join?

conspiracies, sorry :(  just the timing makes me wonder.

cheers
peter

P.S.  hope to include similar levels of paranoia in any sub designs :))
