   Ed Wollmann frequently sends complaints about others "spamming"   
   even when the posts being complained about do not fall under the   
   Skirvin guidelines. This is ironic, because Wollmann is well   
   aware of what constitutes spam. He was TOSsed from AOL and lost   
   6 accounts for spamming from there. He currently enjoys another   
   AOL account because of a personnel change (David O'Donnell, who   
   vowed that Mr. Wollmann was banned from AOL for "life", has   
   moved on) and apparently the current group of Admins there are   
   sympathetic to Wollmann's situation. Wollmann also has spammed   
   from both Earthlink and ATT Worldnet, yet thoroughly detailed   
   spam reports to both of those providers have gone apparently   
   unheeded.   
      
   It is important to note that while the notion of "unclean hands"   
   may be considered, and that there are two sides in the Wollmann   
   Flamewars, Wollmann is the only one engaging in actual Net   
   Abuse, that is, abuse OF the Net, with his Spamming and EMP.   
   Certainly Earthlink and ATT Worldnet should allow their user   
   Wollmann a robust amount of Freedom of Speech, but their   
   allowance of his spam remains a puzzlement.   
   (see this link for a nice, short and straight to the point FAQ   
   about Spam.)   
      
   Following are links to pre-configured DejaNews searches, as well   
   as locally-archived evidence of Wollmann's spam and the   
   resultant actions taken   
      
   29 Spams from Ed's sock puppet, archimeden@aol.com (see a couple   
   examples archived locally: here or here)   
      
   At the time of his first spamfest, Wollmann was warned his BI   
   was rising, yet continued posting the same EMP until well past   
   the limit.   
      
   37 Spams from Ewollmann@aol.com (see a couple examples archived   
   locally: here or here)   
      
   Wollmann here was spamming the same FAQ as in the above EMP.   
      
   AOL cancels 86 archimeden posts after Ed's July 97 spamfest.   
      
   AOL cancels 419 of ewollmann's posts after Ed's September '97   
   spamfest.   
      
   AOL announces Wollmann account cancels in news.admin.net-   
   abuse.bulletins:   
      
   For ewollmann, hoovamoon, and archimeden (9/97)   
   For ewollmann1, altair100, and azimech (2/98)   
      
   AOL cancels 207 of Ed's posts after cancelling his ewollmann1   
   account.   
   AOL cancels 35 of Ed's posts after cancelling his hoovamoon   
   account.

   Earthlink's abuse report on Ed in news.admin.net-abuse.bulletins

   7/12/99 Wollmann EMP Spam Report (see entire post)   
      
   Though the tallied BI count is incorrect in this post, the   
   actual count was still well over the BI limit for the time   
   period. ATT Worldnet continues to allow Wollmann to spam this   
   same EMP from his current account.
