   This weekend. The result, Mike Corley will be gratified to hear,   
   was that all users of the college system were prevented from   
   using email.   
      
   I suspect that there is no stopping Mike Corley. If mail is   
   automatically returned to him, he will return it back to you   
   tenfold. If he is thrown off his account, as he surely will be,   
   he will find another one.   
      
   I do not care whether Mike Corley has an email account or not. It   
   is a matter of supreme indifference to me whether his fanciful   
   account of persecution is aired or not. If he thinks that he has   
   been persecuted by M15 and Chris Tarrant, then that is a matter   
   for him. But there is a world of difference between repeatedly   
   spamming usenet - which is unacceptable - and setting up a Web   
   Site containing his post, which is entirely acceptable. Then it   
   will be possible to choose whether or not to partake of his   
   fantasy.   
      
   However although I would not like to see the censorship of posts   
   because they demonstrate evidence of mental illness, I suspect   
   that Mike Corley will inevitably be censored by his ISP following   
   a number of complaints of usenet abuse and mailbombing.
