You can't.  We are up to our armpits in Seans.  Chris used aliases for a long
time, and probably still does to read things here.  He posted under a couple
of different aliases a while back, but nothing I have noticed recently.

Chris isn't a "stalker" by any stretch.  We had a few.  Rolf and Sean came
to mind in my case.  Chris had his own 'stalker(s)' as well.  What drives
them is (according to a psychiatrist that posted on r.g.c.c) is a variation
of jealousy combined with low self-esteem.

Strange turn of events.  I was initially against Banning Rolf.  Chris pushed
hard.  We agreed.  I later became convinced banning him was the right thing
to do.  Chris changed his mind as well, but in the opposite direction...

Fortunately it seems Rolf gave up when he found how I was totally filtering
him so I never see a thing he posts in r.g.c.c...  ditto for "sean" and
clones...
