So okay, yeah, Bad Idea. Test messages are supposed to be posted to misc.test or alt.test or something. Fine. Nobody's perfect. And Dave is a well-known anti-spammer and competent network Admin.

Jamie can lart Google now :). Anyway, back to the story...

Okay, larting Dave this way was kinda silly, IMO, all things considered. But he was correct. Would that he had left it at that.

Yup.  Not that he didn't have a point - I should have test-posted 
elsewhere.  But asking for my connectivity, DNS, and website to be 
whacked would seem to be the response of a k00k.

Is there a FAQ on Jamie anywhere?  If not, it may be time for one...

I just posted a message to this board a few seconds ago and I can't
see it!  Plus I searched Google for it and it doesn't show up!!!

So I thought I'd better post a test message to see if I'm getting
out.

Can you see me?

Thanks,
Jim

Not only was the post itself obviously a troll, and blindingly-so, IMO, but not less than four other newsgroup regulars followed-up to it, giving away the game even had Jamie been so utterly clue-impaired as to have missed it in the first place.

That's okay, tho, no harm was done :). Unbelievable as it may seem, he bit anyway.

*Sigh*

First of all, Jamie, I'm not "going around spamming Usenet." Nor have I continued "to spam the newsgroup with this useless garbage." At worst I posted one test message to a newsgroup. But the funny thing is: It wasn't even a real test message, you dolt! It was a troll. (Go look it up.) And not just any troll, Jamie. Oh no. This was a blindingly obvious troll. My God, man, I even put "From: trolling@LinxNet.com" in it!

Oh yeah, there was this, also...

Which was another obvious troll, posted as a follow-up to the original thread started by Dave's "test" post. You know: The thread wherein everybody else told you you were out-of-line and behaving like a flaming idiot yet again?

Oh by the way: The abuse@ and postmaster@ role-account handler for LinxNet.com was highly amused by your complaint. I'll let you figure out for yourself just why that might be. Should be no problem for you, you being the Überantispammer you are and all.

Sheesh.

18 Feb., 2003

Note: On Jan. 17 Jamie subsequently complained about this web page to LinxNet.com's "Powers That Be" ;), LinxNet.com's upstream and, for reasons known best only to Jamie himself, ATTBI. Amazingly: he included the entire above contents of this web page. I'll post the complaint some day in the future, perhaps.

Dave Lugo pointed out this link to a Googled'd copy of Jamie's complaints to Dave's upstream and DNS peers about Dave's "test" post to NANAE.

26 Feb., 2003

Given Jamie's recent activities (see the item under "Other Examples Of Jamie-isms" [below], added Feb. 26, 2003), I feel it only appropriate to go ahead and add a copy of the complaint Jamie registered about this very web page. Herewith I present ...

First off this repeated harasement by your users will NOT
be tollerated. I expect that all accounts used by this person
will be immediately terminated.

2nd off this person has NO permission what so ever
to repost any of that information on that site. And I expect
that these slanderous lies will IMMEDIATELY stop.

He has already copied some of my messages on
this website. Which is totally unacceptable,
See that this is site is immediately removed.

I doubt that linxnet.com will be less then responsive
to this email so I am ccing the upstream on this email
as well. Please see that you contact your downstream
and that this site is removed. If they are not
willing to remove this slanderous site then I
expect that you will take action against your customer
and terminate thier connection till such time as
they agree to remove this website.


These lies and constant harasement by your user
will not be tollerated. and I expect that this
webpage will be immediately removed.

http://www.linxnet.com/k00ks/Jamie.html


Please see that immediate action is taken in this
matter and that it is promptly resolved.  If it is
not promptly resolved then other legal action
will be taken.


Jamie

Jamie, there's been no "harassment" - only the documenting of your antics lest anybody take you seriously. Secondly: I have all the permissions I need to publish what's on this page. There has been no "slander." There have been no "lies." Slander and lies, by definition, require untruths. There are no untruths on this page. It is merely documentation.

Excerpt from a post by Jamie to the Usenet newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.email:

And any IP that you saw comming up as possibly even mine that
is possible because I had a slight security issues with one of my
machines.

Excerpt from another post by Jamie, on the same subject, to the Usenet newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.email:

As we all know there was a security risk with my machine
and some one was using my machine to make it look like
me.

[Ed. note: But, er, this web page is "All a bunch of lies...." M. Net Defective said so, himself!]

Seeking to further enlighten the world, vis-a-vis exactly what it was that had happened, Jamie later explained:

It was a trojan now it was identified that it was that
machine the trojan was not identified
but it was identified as being that machine.

[Ed. note: Lies? Ha! I couldn't make stuff like this up if I tried. Really! I'm just not that... imaginative.]

Jamie Baillie runs into a problem building a Perl module. So what does he do? You guessed it: Jamie argues with the developer and "escalates" it to the CPAN maintainers.

Once Jamie Baillie gets an idea into his head, it takes strong medicine to dislodge it. In this zip download, we see him complain to an ISP, and to somebody no longer associated with that ISP, repeatedly, until they're both finally obliged to locally block his email address.

Somebody--an ISP of some kind--actually listened to Jamie?!?! It seems that no-ip.com actually whacked an account as a result of Yet Another Typical Lamie-Gram. Wow! This has to be a first. (added Nov. 12, 2003)

Since k00kboi can't seem to master the art of trimming unnecessary quoted material, let me save you the trouble of wading through all that. Summary:

ISP: "That's awesome, man. Maybe you could file a class action suit."
Jamie: "Nope they didn't blow me off at all."

[Ed. note: Huh?]

In this case, the ISP publicly reinforces the point
Nonetheless, Jamie continues to deny reality
