Shall we fill his email account with angrry mail, or just petition to
have him blocked as a contributor?

If he really annoys you that much, just put him into your filter.

Why not just killfile him or ignore him? He's both pointless and
harmless, and moderated groups suck.

Send mail to AOL, AOL UK, and Google that their services are being
abused. Cite a couple references, etc. Do a search for other things
he's posted as Dan Fisher, FisherSmoke, etc. and cite those as more
examples of this malice. Be persistent, professional, and firm in
your notes to abuse departments. Make sure you get confirmations or
send a few more notes, but don't become as much a problem to them as
tronic is to you.

Then get yourself a real newsreader so you can filter/killfile and not
see this crud anymore.

Don't feed the troll, just completely ignore him, and when you see
anything with his name on it, don't read it, certainly don't respond
to it, just delete it.

If you use Google to read CDP, we've been through this before, you're
sort of asking for this sort of thing, but if you ask them for
anything, ask for the ability to filter postings via a user profile
(they might have it already I dunno).

Remember that usenet is an unmoderated, international, multi-server
medium. And let's not get on a "let's run away from people like this"
kick, because the running will never stop. Understand the medium, use
the right tools, and use the tools to accomplish your goals. In other
words: get a real usenet reader and use filters, and you won't have to
worry about Dan anymore. But to take care of the problem don't just
hide behind your filters, report and pursue abuse to stop it at its
source. Force companies like AOL to terminate accounts where their
users abuse their Terms of Service, and the net might be a slightly
better place.

(Personally I'd like to filter out all AOLers, but that's just me.)

Happy computing.

By taking notice of him - and braodcasting the fact - you are giving to
poor blighted fellow the very impetus he needs to descend further into
his dementure. There is only *one* sensible course of action - ignore
him, utterly, and completely. It does the least harm to both him and
you.
