   keep posting the same repsonse over and over from different accounts,   
   it's still spamming, abuser.   
      
   Ed Wollmann Spams Usenet   
      
      
      
   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.   
      
   Andrew Gierth's 11/19/98 Spam Cancel Bulletin (see entire post)   
      
   "Earthlink: please deal appropriately with your user. 20 articles were   
   cancelled in 20 groups. The Breidbart Index was 42.71"   
      
     Andrew Gierth's 11/20/98 Spam Cancel Bulletin (see entire post)   
      
   "9 articles were cancelled in 8 groups. The Breidbart Index was 20.08.   
   The cumulative Briedbart Index including previous reports is 62.79."   
      
     Earthlink's abuse report on Ed in news.admin.net-abuse.bulletins (see   
   entire post)   
      
   "The following EarthLink subscribers have been reported for Network or   
   USENET abuse. Appropriate action has been taken against these   
   entities in accordance with the Subscriber Agreement and AUP   
   (Acceptable Use Policy):.... arcturian1"   
      
   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.
