Every month or so, using a fictitious name, this troll floods 5000
newsgroups (all cross-posted to a single low-traffic but unrelated
newsgroup) with superficially relevant comments. The purpose is to disrupt
with off-topic crosspostings. 

Like all trolls, he means to annoy and disrupt. The tracking newsgroup is
the way he "keeps score" of how much damage he has caused. Don't put
yourself on display in his trophy case. 

If you feel you have to respond to one of his posts, please don't crosspost
to his tracking newsgroup. In this case it is israel.amix.

Like all trolls, the way to handle him is to IGNORE him. 

Take a few minutes of your time and check out the following score cards to
see firsthand  what this perverted troll is doing. I promise, you'll be
amazed at just how active  and perverted he is. You will see firsthand the
troll's work and his trophies. You will see into the sickness and darkness
of the worst troll on the internet today. Read some of his posts and look at
the headers. You will see than no newsgroup is immune. You will see
flamewars started, some containing over a hundred messages. 

Browse the can.uucp newsgroup, his old score card, for Karl-Hugo Weesberg

Browse the is.matur newsgroup, his old score card, for Dan Simper.

Browse the scot.tld newsgroup, his old score card, for Bruno Beam.

Browse the israel.amix newsgroup, his current score card, for Paul Eisner.

He is known as the "anagram troll" because his fictitious names are often
discovered to be anagrams (for example "Dan Simper" is an anagram of
"Spiderman", Bruno Beam is an anagram of "Unabomber"). 

This guy is a serious troll with a serious problem. Don't be one of his
trophies.

Chances are that I don't subscribe to this newsgroup. I am simply monitoring
the newsgroups the Anagram Troll is using as his score card. Any posts from
me are a result of that monitoring. I normally only post to the newsgroup
being spammed, not to the score card newsgroup, thus I will not see any
replies directly to this post.

Above all, please do not allow him to start a flamewar or extensive
discussion in your newsgroup. He thrives on that. If it is too late, don't
crosspost to his score card newsgroup. That trophy count is his motivation
to continue trolling. Please help stop him in his tracks.

A troll? I think he was just joking around. A PC vs mobile phone debate 
would be a stunning achievement in trolldom, but I can't imagine anybody 
going for that one.

Troll is correct.  A simple "joker" doesn't spam messages to every single
newsgroup on the net.

This particular message is only on two groups. You've seen this one repeated 
all over the place, though?

It doesn't have to be identical messages to qualify as spam.

As the previous poster stated:
: Browse the can.uucp newsgroup, his old score card, for Karl-Hugo Weesberg
:
: Browse the is.matur newsgroup, his old score card, for Dan Simper.
:
: Browse the scot.tld newsgroup, his old score card, for Bruno Beam.
:
: Browse the israel.amix newsgroup, his current score card, for Paul Eisner.

>>From there, you can see that he primairly uses troll templates to make his
postings.
