Re: John Edwards=John Edmund=John Patterson=John Jacobson=John Shuttlebower=Ryan Walters???

Oh, OK.
I guess that explains it.
I think the students that are posting at 11pm, 1am and 3am are really dedicated.
Give them a big thumbs up for me, will you?
Clear skies!

Yeah, so what's your point Uncle Bob?  Are these people hurting you in any
way?  Wasn't the one who was doing the most damage politely removed and, in
fact, an open email address had been provided to receive any final
complaints about that person?  And I do believe that particular post
explained what had happened and why those posts occurred.  Ever consider
that maybe, just maybe, students have access to the same computer and are
told NOT to use real names so they're not spammed to death.  Perhaps as many
as 20 astronomy students have access to usenet during most hours of the day
from the same computer.  Who knows.  I can tell you one thing though in your
little analysis here... John Patterson should NOT be among the names you
list... at least not posting from this computer.

Usenet is certainly the land of the free and home of the strange:

An odd pattern has emerged...
The following posters all
1.) Post from the same earthlink subnet
2.) Use the name John, Jason or Ryan
3.) use a .net in their "From" line in headers.
4.) Have the same version of OE

And the above is true for a well-remembered troll who posted here a
while back, then claimed it was his son "Seth" was really responsible
for the posts, then posed as "Seth" to apologize.

I'm posting these headers so you can compare yourself.  I just noticed
that a lot of slightly odd postings were coming from
newsread1.news.alt.earthlink.net

Then I noticed that most of them were from someone named "John ___",
then I noticed the .net in the from lines, the version numbers of the
newsreaders, and so on.  Multiple personalities, I surmise.


Funny, huh?  Sure hope my back feels better soon so I can do something
productive. ;-)

Clear Skies,
Uncle Bob

First of all, thanks to all who responded to my previous thread concerning
how to properly pronounce "Uranus".  Yesterday, I gave my oral


presentation

on the solar system. Up until the last minute, in my mind, I determined 

to

say it as either you-ray-nus or your-ah-nus. I decided on the latter 

about

10 seconds before saying it. The result was a very good presentation, 

there

were no disruptions, and I got an A-.  The minus being because I wobble a
bit sometimes I think because of nerves.

Thanks again to all,
Jason
