Come on pavel. You've been around a while. Surely you know about all of the trolls who caused CCC to be created in the first place, right? You would think that those people wouldn't go through all of the trouble to intentionally disrupt discussions at rec.games.chess.computer, but they did, and they took the time to register fake email accounts so that they could register here at CCC and say disruptive things here. Every few months there is some guy who shows up here cursing someone else horribly. Most recently it was some guy attacking Ed Schroeder. The loonies are out there, and it's clear from their track record over the past many years that they are willing to do extra work to inconvienience other people's lives. Sure, I suppose there is a chance it wasn't intentional, but given the history of things in this community, I find it highly unlikely that this was an accident. If it was, then attbi.com will have no problem looking at the sender's recent email history, and they will either see that he never recieved such a replicating email, or they will see that he did, and they will take no actions against him. One time I saw a person wearing dark clothes running around my street in people's front yards, very close to their houses. Then he started running in people's back yards. So I called the police. It turns out it was some kids playing some game in the middle of the night, but it's better safe than sorry. If you see a suspicious person, you notify the authorities and let them sort it out, since that's what they do best. I put the information out there in case anyone else wanted to lodge their complaint, and one poster thanked me for the information. For some reason Sarah saw it necessary to poke fun at me for doing so, but I'll not say anything more about what I think about her. Russell
